A great fresco full of tenderness, humour and jokes to be done with the family: bursts of laughter guaranteed!
We loved this exhibition full of charm and poetry to discover with the family and without moderation.
Elliott Erwitt, Dog Portraits – Human Portraits
- Visiting the exhibition at the Maillol Museum is a real recreation ! Because the eye that photographer Elliott Erwitt of the Magnum agency casts on the human race is inevitably tender and mischievous
- We discover as many portraits of great men that he has managed to make smile – from Charles de Gaulle to Che Guevara – as of stars, such as Marilyn Monroe in full rise, whose humanity he reveals through a graceful and complicit gaze.
- But the funniest, even comical part that will appeal to children the most is devoted to dogs put in situations with their masters, a subject to which Elliot Erwitt has a real passion! Dogs: ears pricked up, wearing a cap, at the racecourse or standing on their legs as if leaning on a counter! A situation comedy that has no equal to make us burst out laughing! It is even said that the photographer, ready to turn on his camera, barked to make the dogs react!
- More than 200 works on display, always aesthetic and offbeat, which take us into a zany, offbeat world where childhood is never far away.
The Maillol Museum
- The Maillol Museum is a private museum located at 61 rue de Grenelle in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, a stone’s throw from the Invalides – the Musée de l’Armée and the Luxembourg Gardens or even the Tuileries
- Created on January 20, 1995 by Dina Vierny, the muse of the sculptor Aristide Maillol, (who also posed for Henri Matisse, Pierre Bonnard, or Raoul Dufy), the interior design of the Musée Maillol was designed by the architect Pierre Devinoy:
- On this occasion, he rehabilitated the basement to accommodate the restaurant “Café des Prévert” which was the Cabaret “La Fontaine des Quatre-Saisons”, opened by the brothers Jacques and Pierre Prévert!
- Many of Maillol’s works are on the upper floors, as well as a collection of modern art from the twentieth century in painting, sculpture and drawing.
- With more than 4000m2 of surface area, the Maillol Museum is one of the museums that hosts major Parisian exhibitions that are completely accessible to children.
