Fauve, anarchiste et mondain. A fresh appreciation of Kees Van Dongen (1877-1968), the dazzling, disconcerting painter who made his reputation in Paris in the 1920s. This is a comprehensive look at a multifaceted personality: the socially-conscious Dutchman ever ready to caricature and denounce, the avant-garde artist and iconic Fauve, and one of the Roaring Twenties' leading figures on the trendy Paris scene. The exhibition includes and adds to "All eyes on Kees Van Dongen", shown at the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam. This exhibition centres on the success that came with his Paris period; the latest research have given us a clearer idea of the inventiveness and artistic strategy of a painter who dazzles with his discoveries while disconcerting with the diversity of his subject-matter. Until 30/4/2011 "Haute culture: General Idea" more than 300 works by the Canadian collective, the retrospective is curated by Frederic Bonnet and Odile Burluraux.
