Yves Saint Laurent Aux Musées
When and where: from January 29 to May 15 at the Paris Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Georges Pompidou, the Musée d'Orsay, the Yves Saint Laurent Museum, the Louvre, and the Picasso Museum (in the latter, the exhibition runs until April 15).
In 2022, the fashion house Yves Saint Laurent celebrates its anniversary — 60 years since the first show, which was held on January 29, 1962. The exhibition "Yves Saint Laurent in the museums of Paris" (Yves Saint Laurent Aux Musées) dedicated to this event is a unique project involving six major museums of the French capital. Each of them will present the iconic works of the great couturier surrounded by exhibits, which served as inspiration for their creation. In the Galerie d'Apollon of the Louvre, which houses a collection of jewelry of the French Crown, will be exhibited models of Saint Laurent, demonstrating his passion for jewelry art. The Picasso Museum will focus on the influence the work of the founder of Cubism had on the fashion designer's collections in 1976 and 1988. The Musée d'Orsay will tell how the work of Marcel Proust inspired Saint Laurent to create Le Smoking, the first-ever tuxedo for ladies. A polka-dot dress from the 1986 collection will be presented against the background of Édouard Manet's painting "The Luncheon on the Grass ."The Pompidou Center will draw parallels with the iconic Saint Laurent MondrianÑ dress and the canvas of abstractionist artist Piet Mondrian. The Museum of Modern Art will show three luxurious silk outfits by YSL against the background of a monumental painting by Raoul Dufy, La Fée Electricité. And the Yves Saint Laurent Museum will present unique archival materials of the fashion house illustrating the creative path of the great couturier.
Van Gogh. Self-Portraits
When and where: February 3 to May 8 at the Courtauld Gallery in London.
Throughout his relatively short career as an artist, Van Gogh painted self-portraits in both his brightest and darkest days. In all, he created 35 such works. And only about half of them have survived to our time. They are presented to the audience and the Courtauld Gallery. The center of the Van Gogh. Self-Portraits exhibition will be the iconic canvas — "Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear ."The uniqueness of this event is that some of the artist's self-images will find themselves together for the first time in one room since they left the studio. The retrospective of works by the genius, who had never received wide recognition for his talent until his death, gives visitors a unique opportunity to delve deeply into his inner world and trace how the artist's attitude toward himself, life, and creativity has changed.
Renoir: Rococo Revival
When and where: March 2 to June 19 at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt am Main.
The Renoir: Rococo Revival exhibition will focus on the fascinating and multifaceted relationship between the works of the French impressionist genius and Rococo art. It will also allow visitors to compare Renoir's paintings with those of XVIII-century masters and his contemporaries, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, and Edgar Degas. Pierre-Auguste Renoir became one of those artists who brought back the lost Rococo style in the art of the XIX century. He often used its most popular motifs in his works: scenes of gallant and carefree social life as well as domestic, family, and even intimate settings. The starting point for an endlessly interesting exploration of Renoir's sources of inspiration will be his famous painting After Breakfast. And in total, the exhibition offers the attention of visitors about 120 works.
Exhibitions to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Piet Mondrian
When and where: April 2 to September 25 — Kunstmuseum den Haag, The Hague; June 5 to October 9 — Beyeler Foundation Museum, Riehen; October 29, 2022 to February 10, 2023 — K20, Düsseldorf.
Three of the world's famous museums will hold large exhibitions to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Piet Mondrian, the painter who pioneered abstract art and created the concept of neoplasticism. And his contribution to the development of design, architecture, and fashion of the XX century cannot be overestimated. The canvases of the great master are easily recognized. He filled the white or black background with simple lines and geometric figures, using only the main colors of the spectrum (red, blue, and yellow). However, the artist's first works looked quite different and were painted in full accordance with the canons of classical Dutch landscapes. The museums offer visitors the opportunity to trace Piet Mondrian's path, from a careful study of the natural world and its representation in his paintings to the complete abandonment of figurative painting.
