Fragonard Exhibition at Jacquemart-André Museum 29 octobre 2007
Posted by webmaster in : Culture , add a comment 
Following the bicentenary of the death of Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806), the Jacquemart-André Museum pays homage to one of the greatest painters in the history of art, highlighting a greatly neglected aspect of the artist’s work: illustrations.
From 3 October 2007 to 13 January 2008, the Jacquemart-André Museum will be presenting a unique collection of around one hundred works by the painter Fragonard from all over the world. The exhibition paints the picture of an artist who was far more cultured than one could imagine and who, beyond the atmosphere of an age of which he is the most brilliant interpreter, knew how to illustrate and translate the thoughts and tastes of his time: alternating between pleasure and artistic refinement.
On the occasion of the bicentenary of the death of Fragonard (the artist died in Paris in 1806 at the age of 74), it was important that Paris, the city where Fragonard spent his entire career, should pay homage to one of the greatest painters of the eighteenth century. In France, this anniversary celebration was not marked by any major events and no major exhibition of the artist’s work has been put on for twenty years.
Through around one hundred works taken from around the world, the exhibition highlights the work of one of the greatest painters of the eighteenth century who is an eminent representative of the tastes and the culture of his time. The Jacquemart-André Museum, which has a wealth of works from this period, was designed in an entirely natural manner so as to provide an appropriate setting to host an exhibition which proposes to revisit the artist’s work and show it in a completely new light. Marie-Anne Dupuy-Vachey, an art historian and author of two books on Fragonard, is the curator of the exhibition.
