George Condo – Humanoids – Exhibition
For George Condo, “the Humanoid is not a science fiction monster, but a depiction that uses traditional methods to bring a person’s inner emotions to the surface”. Over the course of eight sections, the exhibition traces the continuity of a profuse body of work that ranges from “space beings” to Who’s Who, from Guido Reni to Bugs Bunny. Featuring specially produced paintings, the exhibition offers a glimpse of the artist’s process of invention – as crazy as it is erudite – of humanoids. From Friday, March 31 to Sunday October 1, 2023 at the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco – Villa Paloma. Discover more about the exhibition here. Read more about George Condo in our article here.
Looking Forward
Marianne Mathieu at the Cultural Events at the Hotel Métropole Monte-Carlo
The Hotel Métropole Monte-Carlo is pleased to invite Marianne Mathieu, Claude Monet specialist and
curator of the exhibition “Monet en plein lumière” which will take place from July 8 to September 3 at the
Grimaldi Forum Monaco. Monet and the Quest for Light is the cultural event of the summer in the Principality which
will bring together nearly 100 works from around the world, including an unpublished painting and offers a new look at the work of the famous impressionist and his time on the Riviera.
Marianne Mathieu, curator of the exhibition, engages in a fascinating exploration of the work of the painter, through an extraordinary scenography where works rarely exhibited together echo and put into perspective the work of the Master with regard to his search for capturing light. Retracing the different significant passages of Monet on the Côte d’Azur
(Antibes, Monte-Carlo, Roquebrune and Bordighera), the exhibition gives visitors the keys to better understand the work of the artist.
We invite you for an exceptional meeting in small groups with this art historian, en expert in impressionism who will share with you “behind the scenes” of the organization of one of the largest exhibitions dedicated to Claude Monet in the last decade.
On Thursday, June 15, from 16:00 to 18:00.
Access by reservation, Limited number of places available, please reserve at c.russo@metropole.com.
