It is difficult to grow up around an artist, or so they say! The Saint James has chosen to recommend you a visit of the exhibition “Les Enfants Modèles” at the Musée de l’Orangerie.
History of art hardly ever mentions an artist’s entourage. People surrounding, supporting or simply loving artists are mostly not taken into account. Among those though, their children have often posed for them. It is true for sculptors (Belmondo, Petit, Carrière) as well as for painters (Cézanne, Renoir, Picasso, Lempicka…). Discover this exhibition in which their portraits or sculptures by their father or mother are presented together with their memories about this specific time during which they got to play a specific role in their parents’ creations.
