"Dossiers: Chardin"
1999-09-10 until 1999-11-22
Galeries nationales du Grand Palais Région parisienne Région
Paris, , FR France

The exhibition follows a chronological order. It is divided into five parts and focuses on the artist's masterpieces. Are successively shown here the first still lifes, for which Chardin was considered a painter talented in animals and fruit , the kitchen utensils and housework objects, the genre paintings, the still lifes of maturity, and finally the pastel portraits. Among the 95 works presented in this exhibition, some are being shown for the first time to the Parisian public.,Indeed, the three versions of Pourvoyeuse (Supplier) will be hung on the walls of the Galeries nationales du Grand Palais, whereas only two were shown at the 1979 exhibition.

The Chardin exhibition at the Galeries nationales du Grand Palais, twenty years after the 1979 retrospective, offers the occasion to rediscover a rare painter to whom Diderot paid tribute in the following comment at the 1763 Salon : There you are again, you the great magician with your mute compositions ! .

Organised for the tercentennial of Chardin's birth, this exhibition will be presented in Düsseldorf from 5 December 1999 to 28 February 2000, at the Royal Academy of Arts in London from 9 March to 28 May 2000, and lastly at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York from 19 June to 17 September 2000.

The Paris exhibition was organised thanks to the support of LVMH / Moët Hennessy and Louis Vuitton
