EXHIBITION "MAURICE DENIS, 1920SÂ . THE BRILLIANCE OF THE SOUTH"
NOVEMBER 8, 2025 - MARCH 8, 2026
MUSÉE DES BEAUX ARTS JULES CHÉRET
This year, the museum is celebrating the centenary of the exhibition dedicated to Maurice Denis (1870-1943) held in Nice in 1925.
The reconstruction and study of this exhibition testifies to the importance of the artist's successive trips to the south of France (1906, 1913 and 1922), during his prolific creative decade of the twenties. The meeting of the Denisian universe and the Côte d'Azur is also an opportunity to take a broader interest in this very special moment in his life as a man and his life as an artist. After the death of his first wife in 1919, his marriage to Elisabeth Graterolle gave him a creative vitality that allowed him to respond to the many requests that crowned his career.
The shimmering blues and pinks of the winter light that flooded his works at this time are thus the mirror of the accomplishment of an artist who came to draw a new breath from the shores of the Mediterranean, in this pacified period of the interwar period.
