L’expo "Pionnières" : être une artiste femme dans le Paris des années folles
- The exhibition “Pioneers” highlights the primordial role of women in the development of the great artistic movements of modernity, in the aftermath of the 1st World War
- It retraces the careers of 45 pioneering women artists in several artistic fields
- These pioneers, such as Tamara de Lempicka, Sonia Delaunay, Suzanne Valadon, Marie Laurencin or Chana Orloff… were born at the end of the nineteenth or the very beginning of the twentieth century, and around the 1920s they entered the great art schools that had until then been reserved for men
- Many of them stayed in Paris, and participated in the cultural effervescence of the Roaring Twenties
- The 1920s were a period of turmoil and cultural effervescence, from which the term “Roaring Twenties” was derived. The period will therefore be synonymous with celebrations, exuberance and strong economic growth.
- These “pioneers”, sulphurous, emancipated and provocative women will finally be recognized as artists
- Like men, they will own a studio, a gallery or a publishing house, run workshops in art schools, represent naked bodies, whether male or female
- They are the first to have the opportunity to dress as they wish, to live their sexuality whatever it may be, to choose their spouse or not to get married…
- These “pioneers” influenced entire generations of artists and continue to influence them today
- If possible, we recommend a family visit to the exhibition with tour guides who are specialists in young people. These visits are always a great success. 2 dates are scheduled: April 30 and June 19 at 10:30 a.m. Book quickly!
