Le jour des peintres — Musée d’Orsay — Exhibition — Slash Paris

Today: Thursday, September 19, 2024

Orchestrated by the artist Thomas Lévy-Lasne, the event will bring together eighty contemporary painters, each of them waiting alongside one of their works in the Museum’s galleries. This one-day gathering, a performance on an unprecedented scale, will bear witness to the vitality of the French art scene, which is still too little known by the general public. This outstanding presentation will shine a light on several generations of artists, the gradual feminization of the profession, and the wide stylistic variety of approach. Each artist will take up a chosen position in the Nave next to their painting, in gaps in the installation echoing the Musée d’Orsay’s collections, an indisputable reference and inexhaustible source of inspiration for them. A rare, unforgettable experience! As well as being treated to an unprecedented panorama of today’s pictorial creation, visitors will have the opportunity to exchange with the painters on their work, careers and intentions.
