Exposition Sous la pluie

Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen, Esplanade Marcel Duchamp, 76000 Rouen

Description

The exhibition Whistler, the Butterfly Effect, explores a significant artistic phenomenon: Whistlerism. This movement, spearheaded by James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), emerged during his lifetime and exerted influence over international contemporary creation for nearly a century (1870-1970).
Highlights :
  • artistic phenomenon
  • unique exhibition
  • Normandy Impressionist Festival

Museum of Fine Arts from May 22 to September 22 

Whistler fundamentally epitomized a form of total art, where poetry, music, and lifestyle intersect. In this showcase in Rouen, the journey of discovery encompasses dandyism, japonism, anglophilia, and a fascination with the Spanish Golden Age and Venice.

Visitors are immersed in a sensory experience that engages not only their sight but also their sense of touch and hearing. Music, textiles, fragrances, and soundscapes offer a nuanced complement to the contemplation of the artworks. A self-guided tour is available, featuring the participation of Emmanuel Guibert, Marc Boutavant, and their character Ariol (a Bayard Jeunesse hero), guiding young visitors on an exploration to uncover the influence and impact of the featured painter.
