Events and exhibitions

In recent months, the health situation having finally improved, we have finally been able to make some trips, in particular to Paris and Rennes. Hoping that the situation will improve further this summer and that in a few months we will be able to fully revive our passion!

MAGRITTE-RENOIR - ORANGERIE - PARIS

From May 19, 2021 to July 19, 2021. « Surrealism in the sunlight »

This is the first exhibition to show a chapter of Magritte's work that is still largely unknown. It allows us to compare Magritte's works with those of Auguste Renoir who inspired him.
The exhibition brings together some sixty paintings and forty drawings. It opens with some works from the late 1930s in which Magritte expresses the imminence of war and disaster. The paintings from Magritte's "Renoir" period are compared with masterpieces by Renoir, contemporary paintings by Picabia and other pieces that allow us to sketch out a posterity for this little-known production.
Magritte sees himself as a prophet of happiness and peace: "...the beautiful side of life would be the domain I would explore. By this I mean all the traditional paraphernalia of charming things, women, flowers, birds, trees, the atmosphere of happiness. It is a rather powerful charm that now replaces in my paintings the disquieting poetry that I had once striven to achieve", Magritte wrote to Paul Éluard in 1941. 

ESTAMPE DES MAITRES - PETIT PALAIS - PARIS

From 19 May to 29 July 2021, "Edition Limitée" (Limited Edition).
The Petit Palais presents this exhibition, "Edition Limitée", based on the figure of Ambroise Vollard, as a publisher of prints and illustrated books, and his successor Henri Petiet. Works by Bonnard, Picasso, Maillol, Redon, Chagall . .
Ambroise Vollard (1866-1939) was an outstanding figure in the art market at the turn of the century, distinguished by his audacity, which led him to support modern artists such as Cézanne, Gauguin and the young Picasso and Rouault. With this exhibition, the Petit Palais has chosen to focus on his key role in the specific field of printmaking and illustrated books. Benefiting from numerous gifts and bequests from Vollard himself and his heirs, the Petit Palais is showcasing this exceptional collection of prints, enriched by numerous loans from other institutions and collections.
Passionate about this publishing activity, Vollard invested the profits from the more lucrative trade in paintings by modern masters. He was involved in the choice of special papers, typographic research, and printers, among other aspects of the production of these very luxurious works. A particularly new chapter in the exhibition will focus on the activities of Henri Marie Petiet (1894-1980), the dealer who bought the Vollard gallery's print collection at the end of the war. He was also a discoverer of talent and a supporter of personalities as diverse as Jean-Émile Laboureur, André Dunoyer de Segonzac, Aristide Maillol and Marie Laurencin. The focus on the central figure of Henri Petiet benefits from recent research and discoveries that shed new light on this question of the French print market in the 20th century.
A must-see for print lovers!

PICASSO-RODIN - RODIN MUSEUM - PICASSO MUSEUM - PARIS

From 19 May 2021 to 2 January 2022, "Picasso-Rodin".
For the first time, the Rodin Museum and the Picasso-Paris National Museum are joining forces to present the exhibition-event "Picasso-Rodin". This exceptional partnership between two great monographic museums offers a unique look at these genius artists who paved the way for modernity in art. Their masterpieces are presented simultaneously in the two historical monuments that house these national museums. The exhibition invites visitors to re-read the works of Rodin (1840-1917) and Picasso (1881-1973), two great artists who have permanently changed the artistic practices of their time for generations to come. The aim is not to show what Picasso borrowed from Rodin, but rather to examine the significant convergences that appear between Rodin's work and several periods of Picasso's production. This cross-reading of their works is divided into different chapters on both sites, at the Rodin Museum on the one hand through the crisis of representation at the beginning of the 20th century, and at the Picasso Museum on the other hand the artists' creative processes. At different times and in different contexts, Rodin and Picasso participated in a decisive articulation of history, and this is no doubt one of the keys to their similarities. In their own way, they invented a new mode of representation, expressionist in Rodin's case, cubist in Picasso's.
Obviously, two places and an exceptional exhibition!

LES GIACOMETTI - MAEGHT FONDATION - ST PAUL DE VENCE

From 3 July to 14 November 2021, "Les Giacometti: Une famille de créateurs".
We would like to inform you of the forthcoming opening of the exhibition organised by the Maeght Foundation in St Paul de Vence: "Les Giacometti: Une famille de créateurs". 
The exhibition will honour a family of artists. Its curator Peter Knapp proposes to discover the talent and originality of the Giacomettis: Alberto, known worldwide, his father Giovanni, his cousin Augusto, and his two brothers Diego and Bruno. Whether painters, sculptors or architects, they left their mark on 20th century art.
Reunited for the first time in France, the Giacomettis embody five artists with different but intertwined careers. This original exhibition allows us to discover from which cultural family Alberto Giacometti, the most famous among the general public, comes. It shows the place of this family in art as well as the links that these five members wove between them. The exhibition also evokes their intimate relationship with their native village, Stampa, in the Swiss canton of Graubünden, which has become an important place in the history of modern art.
With some thirty major sculptures and drawings from its collection, complemented by paintings, films, archival photographs and objects, the Maeght Foundation highlights the extraordinary and unique story of these five artists from the same family: Giovanni Giacometti, painter (1868-1933), his three sons, Alberto Giacometti, painter, draughtsman and sculptor (1901-1966); Diego Giacometti, sculptor and designer (1902-1985), Bruno Giacometti, architect (1907-2012) and finally their cousin Augusto Giacometti, painter (1877-1947).

HAYTER - MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS - RENNES


From 12 February to 1 May 2021, "Hayter et l'atelier du monde".
Born in England, the painter and engraver Stanley William Hayter (1901-1988) founded an engraving workshop in Paris in 1927, known as Atelier 17. Picasso, Miró, Tanguy, Masson but also Vieira da Silva and Giacometti, and later many artists of different generations, explored engraving, a new space in their creative field. For more than sixty years, Atelier 17 proved to be a unique, transatlantic and cosmopolitan creative laboratory. It welcomed generations of artists, including a large number of women such as Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, Louise Bourgeois, Nina Negri and Helen Phillips, while surrealist automatic writing and the new forms of abstraction intersected.
Around Hayter's work, prints, paintings and sculptures offer an immersion in the creative processes used by the artists of Atelier 17, from the work of cutting the plate to the experiments of inking and printing. The works of nearly seventy artists from the modernist avant-garde are presented in the exhibition, while new forms of European and American abstraction take shape. Hayter, through his creativity and his teaching, was able to renew a practice of printmaking that he would transmit to the four corners of the world in the middle of the 20th century.
This magnificent exhibition, undoubtedly too short, is now unfortunately over.
Discover it in the form of a 25' virtual visit with Laurence Imbernon, curator and curator of the exhibition:

A new website !

After working several months, we are happy to present you the new website. Very different in the structure from the last one (which was 15 years old), you will find again most of the sections you used to consult. Very contemporary, the conception corresponds to the new technologies. We hope you will be interested to visit the new sections, and specially, the very rich « Media Library » and a « Live contact » to provide a direct and personal service.
Furthermore, we wished you could create your online costumer space, easy to access each time you visit the site; so, you could save the access to the artworks you like and eventually order them.
Opening up the new site, Michelle Champetier wants to thank all the translators (Marie, Sara, Françoise, Gilbert and Caroline) who worked hard, so that you can access to a lot of pages (in particular biographies) and a considerable amount of information in English, Italian, Spanish, and German language.
Furthermore, because of its structure, you can access and consult the site on all types of digital medias: computer, tablets and cell phone.

Since few months, we created the possibility of proposing you a vision of the works in their details by a « hover over the image to zoom in » or by an « enlarge image » by a simple click.

Complete works books

Patrick, Michelle Champetier’s husband, up to now, already achieved three catalogues raisonnes (Complete works books ) :
1 . « L'oeuvre graphique de Pierre Cayol - 1959-2015 » is available for consultation on Internet : CR Pierre Cayol.
2 . « Roger Platiel, L'oeuvre graphique 1956-1978 », after numerous working months, is also available for consultation on Internet : www.rogerplatiel.com/. This catalogue raisonné, with 200 references, is published in a paper version. This original edition is of 210 copies (10 Deluxe copies + 200 copies). Do not hesitate to obtain the catalog by an order in our gallery.
3 . « Jim Monson, L'oeuvre graphique 1966-2016 » is available on Internet ; established in association with the artist, the catalog contains 178 références (etchings, lithographs and woodcuts). Bilingual (French-English), you can consult it, in english language, by clicking the following address:
http://www.jim-monson.com/Jim-Monson-catalogue-raisonne-complete-work-prints.html
Also, you can consult the new website of the artist:

Our first edition

Our first edition of prints was produced five years ago: two original engravings by Renaud Allirand. Each one was printed in 12 copies. These two beautiful etchiings, « Nuit d'été I » and  « Nuit d'été II » are put forward on our site.
 « Nuit d'été I » was awarded by the Price of the Curator of the exhibition at the Portland Print Fair in 2017.



In 2018, « Nuit d'été I » was also selected for the 4th edition of the « Triennale de gravure de L'Isle sur Tarn » (Museum Raymond Lafage)

Sections

Most of the sections which were on our website before are saved, but they have been thought again to give you a best way, easier and more effective to access.
Do not hesitate to visit:
* « Ladies of my street » (You can access from the section « Works and artists »). This section suggests to support, with your help, some old people.
* « Between us » gathers different items, in particular « The amazing story of M. Petitchamp », a comic strip !
* « Complete works » (You can access from the section « Services »). It presents, up to now, 576 references belonging to the gallery.
* And many other things !
We draw your attention to the section « See & discover » in « Media Library » ; this one should be considered a rich database for the artworks. It presents up to now more than 9300 references.

Errors or malfunctions

Our site is made of several ten of thousands pages! Despite our best and continuing attention and or our rechecking, you might find some errors, malfunctions and omissions on our new website.
We really appreciate receiving notification of it, so that this can be promptly remedied. Be sure that your comments are welcome as a friendly wave.
Thanks in advance!  
Michelle Champetier and her staff.
