Hello everybody ! What are the interesting exhibitions to see in Paris this month? As I was asking myself this question this week, I thought maybe you would be interested too.
Not being the queen of organization, I tend to discover the exhibitions just before they close. I decided to remedy this by searching for exhibitions that begin in March.
1. Tintoret, naissance d’un génie
Where: Musée du Luxembourg

Price: 14,50 euros
Official description of the exhibition: On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the birth of Tintoret, the Musée du Luxembourg celebrates one of the most fascinating painters of the Venetian Renaissance.The exhibition focuses on the first fifteen years of his career. We follow the beginnings of an ambitious young man, steeped in Venetian tradition but open to the many novelties coming from the rest of Italy, determined to renew painting in a cosmopolitan Venice. Profane, ceiling decor or small painting quickly executed, portrait of a prominent personality or close friend, drawing or sketch … the collected works reflect the diversity of the work of Tintoret and his desire to hit the eye and the spirit by his audacity ».
2. Kupka, Pionnier de l’abstraction

3. Neandertal l’expo

Price: 12 euros
Official description of the exhibition: « Since the discovery, in 1856, of his strange skull in the valley (thal) of Neander in Germany (hence its name), the Neanderthal man fascinates as much as it intrigues. Thanks to the great archaeological and palaeoanthropological discoveries of recent times, and the many artistic and popular productions made since the middle of the 19th century, the exhibition draws the portrait of a cousin, source of many fantasies conveyed by a fertile collective imagination. »

The impressionist painters were inspired by the prints that came to them from Japan, of more or less good quality, but framing and always inspiring subjects.
Conclusion :
I hope you have found your happiness in this selection. Personally, the exhibitions on Guernica and the Neanderthal tempted me. I think I will keep the exhibition in Giverny for a sunny day, to make the most of Giverny (beautiful place – 1 hour from Paris).
And you, are you tempted by an exhibition?
