Gino Severini is probably the most French of Italian artists. Indeed for half a century, he was the living symbol of the artistic exchange between Italy and France: “The cities to which I am most attached are Cortona and Paris. I was born physically in the first but intellectually and spiritually in the second”.
This exhibition at the Orangerie Museum inParis presents the evolution of an artist who played an important role in artistic creation of the first half of the twentieth century, showing all the stages of his career, including: divisionism from 1905 to 1910, Futurism from 1911 to 1915, Cubism from 1916 to 1919, his return to figurative art from 1920 to 1943, and finally neo-futurism and abstraction from 1948 to 1951.

From February 9 2011 to May 23 2011
After several months of closure, the Musée du Luxembourg has finally reopened with the exhibition .
Running until 23 May 2011, it focuses on Lucas Cranach (1472-1553), a Germanic artist little-known in France and on his rich artistic career in the first half of the 16th century.
His elegant, sensual and refined works — portraits, female figures, engravings, drawings, etc. are clearly influenced by the great painters and intellectuals of the Renaissance but also by his travels in Europe and his encounters with major political and religious figures of his time.
