Nan Goldin. This Will Not End Well
Icon of contemporary photography, Nan Goldin presents herself as a filmmaker. For the first time in France, the Grand Palais is devoting a retrospective to her videos and slideshows, which the artist describes as "films composed of photos".
The exhibition brings together six major works retracing fifty years of creation, including The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, The Other Side and Sisters, Saints, Sibyls. The deeply personal narratives take on a universal scope, questioning childhood, gender, violence and family ties.
After Stockholm, Amsterdam, Berlin and Milan, this exhibition arrives in Paris to offer a rare immersion in Nan Goldin's world, at once frontal, fragile and intensely human.
Between 1941 and 1954, Henri Matisse invented a new language: that of cut-out forms and pure color. Featuring over 230 works from the Centre Pompidou collection and major international loans, the exhibition sheds light on the final years of an artist in constant reinvention.
At the age of almost 80, Matisse turned cut-out gouache into an autonomous medium, capable of expressing the essential through simplicity. The exhibition shows how central painting remains to his approach, gaining in space, intensity and light.
From monumental panels to large cut-out gouache figures such as La Tristesse du roi, Zulma, La Danseuse créole or les Nus bleus, the tour recreates the vibrant atmosphere of a studio in perpetual transformation.
