Description
“Collectors should regard participating in exhibitions as a mission. Doing so means making seldom or never seen works available to the public and thus playing an indispensable role in the sharing of knowledge.” These are the noble and generous sentiments of David Nahmad, whose family has done so much since the early 1960s to safeguard our heritage by making the great history of painting and artists known to as many people as possible. Thus, over forty works from this illustrious collection, specially selected for the Bonnard Museum., are gathered here for this exhibition. The selection includes some of the greatest artists of the modern era, from the forerunners and masters of Impressionism (Boudin, Monet, Renoir, Sisley, Degas and Zandomeneghi) to Picasso and Matisse, by way of the Nabis Bonnard, Toulouse-Lautrec, the Fauves (Marquet and Dufy), the Cubists (Braque and Gris) and the School of Paris (Modigliani, Kisling and Pascin). The works cast light on the fascinating lines of descent between the schools of the different eras and the contribution of each of these painters to the history of art, whose exciting course is retraced in this lavishly illustrated and documented catalogue.

Le musée Bonnard a le privilège de dévoiler, l''été 2019, une sélection d''oeuvres remarquables de la fin du XIXe siècle au début du XXème, conservée par une collection privée d''exception. Privilège à plus d''un titre puisqu''un tel ensemble, exceptionnellement présenté met aussi en avant les relations privilégiées qu''entretiennent les musées et les collectionneurs privés. Un collectionneur contribue au développement de la connaissance : « les collectionneurs doivent considérer comme mission de participer aux expositions ? Collaborer à une exposition c''est mettre à disposition du public des oeuvres qu''il n''a jamais ou peu vues. C''est remplir un rôle qui me paraît incontournable dans la transmission du savoir. » déclare l''un des très grands collectionneurs du XXIe siècle. 60 oeuvres exceptionnelles réunies en un choix précis reflétant l''esprit qui anime cette famille de collectionneurs et signent la venue de la modernité. Présentée sur les 3 niveaux du musée, cette exposition lie entre eux des chemins artistiques variés jalonnés de doutes, de choix et de possibles dans une lecture sensible et perspicace.
