In the bright light of his final years, Matisse invented a new language: that of cut-out forms and pure color. More than 300 paintings, drawings, books and cut-out gouaches retrace, between 1941 and 1954, the journey of a free artist in perpetual motion.

The exhibition Matisse. 1941-1954 sheds light on the final years of Henri Matisse's career, between 1941 and 1954, through more than 300 works - paintings, drawings, cut-out gouaches, illustrated books, textiles and stained glass - from the Centre Pompidou collection and major international loans. It reveals the multidisciplinary scope of his practice during this period, while bringing together an exceptional group of cut-out gouaches.

Conceived as a journey through the painter's universe, the exhibition recreates the vibrant atmosphere of his ever-changing studio. An invitation to discover Matisse's flourishing "garden," room after room.

From the 18th century to the Kpop wave, discover the roots of a visual culture that has conquered the world!

A major cultural powerhouse, South Korea is now setting trends and inspiring a globalized generation. At the forefront of this wave, K-Beauty is imposing a holistic approach to beauty that is typically Korean and establishing a true aesthetic. Going beyond simple cosmetics, it is forging new standards and creating striking and unique imagery.

Bringing together masterpieces from the collections of the Guimet Museum and major South Korean institutions (paintings, photographs, advertisements, dresses, and beauty accessories from the 18th century to the present day), the « K-Beauty » exhibition deciphers its codes and shows how they are part of a centuries-old tradition, between balance and virtue, naturalness and sophistication.

Through this exhibition, visitors will discover how a distinctly Korean aesthetic has been consolidated, with certain standards - forged since the late Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) - retaining their appeal to this day and becoming the subject of tributes and numerous reinterpretations. « K-Beauty » highlights the evolution and enduring nature of the concept of Korean beauty, from the second half of the 18th century to the contemporary globalized world.

A major figure in impressionism, Pierre Auguste Renoir, like Manet, Degas, Monet and Caillebotte, is regarded as one of the 19th century's great painters of modern life. Between the mid-1860s and the 1880s, he developed a light, fluid manner of painting, bursting with light and color, along with new subjects focusing on relationships between men and women.

This exhibition, co-organized with the National Gallery in London and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, reexamines Renoir's fundamental contributions to impressionism and 19th-century art history through the complex, universal notion of love, the central driving force of his work. It provides a new perspective on paintings that are so well-known that it has become difficult to perceive how radical they are. For the first time since 1985 (the year the last Renoir retrospective was held in Paris, at the Grand Palais), some of the artist's and impressionism's greatest masterpieces will be brought together in France.

This is the first exhibition to be dedicated to Renoir's drawings, and highlights the importance of graphic techniques in his artistic development. It also reveals the close relationship between his paintings and his drawings, in particular from the 1880s onwards when he began to move away from Impressionism.
