In spring 1998, the Institut Néerlandais in Paris presented a prestigious selection of Flemish and Dutch paintings from the Musée Fabre.
In 1812, David Pierre Giottino Humbert de Superville settled in Leyden in the Netherlands. Then in his 40s, he had led a particularly adventurous life.
Viallat's now immense œuvre remains as open, risk-taking and paradoxical as ever.
This historical exhibition, ranging from Eugène Carrière's La Coiffure (1890) to Simon Hantaï's La Tabula (1980) presents part of the Musée Fabre's collection of modern art. The selected works do not attempt to retrace the comprehensive history of the ideas and movements shaping 20th-century art, but rather to give a snapshot of the museum's current holdings in this area.
Organised jointly by the Musée Fabre and France's Réunion des Musées Nationaux, the exhibition highlights the rich diversity of the museum's collections with a selection of works exploring the theme of landscape.
For the first time, this exhibition presents abstract and figurative works by Vincent Bioulès, in the city where he lives and works.
The Jean Hugo retrospective at the Pavillon du Musée Fabre marks the brilliant climax of a year of celebrations in Lunel, Blérancourt, Paris, and Alès, commemorating the centenary of the artist's birth.
A place. And its spirit – a fitting subtitle, perhaps, for this exhibition of contemporary creative work from the Languedoc region.
Through its long-standing partnership with France's Musée National d'Art Moderne (MNAM), the Musée Fabre has acquired the MNAM's Veira da Silva bequest, together with its complete collection of works by this important artist.
