Already an owner of several canvases of the painter, whose most famous piece is the Mona Lisa, the Louvre would like to gather most of his prominent paintings and intends to honor him with this retrospective. We are already looking forward to it.

Bourdelle : the Monographic museum

1/10/2019

3 Comments

According to the will of the artist Antoine Bourdelle, all his work is permanently exposed, in his ateliers where he lived and worked all his life. The Musée Bourdelle is divided into five parts, offering to its visitors a unique range of exhibition areas :

The streetside garden

The sculpture studio

The Christian de Portzamparc extension

The sculpture studio has remained in its original state, from the walls in the colors of the Time to the large wooden table assembled by Bourdelle’s father, nothing has changed. The studio shows us the diversity of the materials and techniques Bourdelle used and offers a real time travel.

You also will find two gardens that invite you to go for a stroll : the garden overlooking the street where you will be able to sunbathe and the inner garden for a peaceful walk, surrounded by amazing masterpieces.

Built in 1961 by the architect Henri Gautruche to mark the hundredth anniversary of Bourdelle’s birth, the Great Hall houses his monumental plaster casts.

In 1992, the architect Christian de Portzamparc added a resolutely contemporary wing to the museum.

In Antoine Bourdelles’s apartment we discover more his family, always through the artist’s work. Bourdelle moved into this room in 1885, joined by his parents one year later into the studio next door, until 1918.
