Simon Hantaï & Fugues in Color

Painting Takes Off

May 18, 2022 | By Heidi Ellison | Exhibitions

Painting takes flight from the traditional flat canvas on a stretcher in the two current exhibitions at Fondation Louis Vuitton. Upstairs, the works of the five artists featured in “Fugues in Color“ interact with the high-ceilinged, light-filled, oddly shaped galleries, … Read More

Destiny: The Art of Destiny Deacon

Perverting Racist Symbols

May 11, 2022 | By Heidi Ellison | Exhibitions

When the renowned Australian photographer Destiny Deacon was a little girl, other children were always calling her a “black little c**t.” When she grew up and started taking photographs, she decided to take the “C” out of the word “Black,” … Read More

Devenir (un Autre) Animal

The Animal Within

May 4, 2022 | By Heidi Ellison | Exhibitions

One of my favorite places in the Paris region is the Domaine de Chamarande. It’s easy to reach by train from Paris (41 minutes, with frequent departures), and it’s only a five-minute walk from the station when you get there. … Read More

Marcel Proust, du Côté de la Mère

Identity Politics in Proust's Great Novel

April 27, 2022 | By Heidi Ellison | Exhibitions

In Marcel Proust’s great novel, In Search of Lost Time, the main character, Marcel, modeled closely on the author himself, is not Jewish. Proust himself, however, was Jewish through his mother’s side of the family. I have always wondered why … Read More

Eyes Wide Open

April 20, 2022 | By Heidi Ellison | Exhibitions, Museums

Mutable Identities

April 13, 2022 | By Heidi Ellison | Exhibitions

A new exhibition at the Bourse de Commerce-Pinault Collection brings together the work of Felix Gonzalez-Torres (1957-1996) and Roni Horn (b. 1955), two artists who, at first glance, would seem to have little in common except being openly gay. What they … Read More

Boldini: Les Plaisirs et les Jours

Dazzling Visions of a 'Neurotic Era'

April 6, 2022 | By Heidi Ellison | Exhibitions

Giovanni Boldini (1842-1931), an Italian artist who spent most of his long career in Paris, was the fashion influencer par excellence of his day. Stylish Belle Époque women actually went on diets in order to be fit subjects for his … Read More

Algérie Mon Amour

Discovering the Art of Algeria

March 30, 2022 | By Heidi Ellison | Exhibitions

Algeria is currently in the spotlight here during the 60th anniversary year of the Évian Accords, which ended the bloody eight-year-long Algerian War and led to Algeria‘s independence from France. One very welcome commemoration of this historical moment is the … Read More

Sophie Calle: The Ghosts of Orsay

Sophie Calle: The Ghosts of Orsay

Haunted Hotel

March 23, 2022 | By Heidi Ellison | Exhibitions

The artist Sophie Calle is a storyteller whose tales are told in photographs and texts that dredge her memory and transform her personal experiences into something universal we can all relate to, whether they deal with love, heartbreak, death or … Read More

Albert Edelfelt & Akseli Gallen-Kallela

Albert Edelfelt & Akseli Gallen-Kallela

Race to the Finnish

March 16, 2022 | By Heidi Ellison | Exhibitions

Is it an invasion from the north? Yes, but of a rather more gentle kind than we are seeing in Ukraine right now. For several years now, various Paris museums have been spotlighting the work of Nordic artists, notably in … Read More
