Basquiat X Warhol, the collaboration of the Louis Vuitton Foundation
It looks like fire and ice: one, Jean-Michel Basquiat, with his boiling rage, the other, Andy Warhol, with his distanced irony.
They are part of two generations and two different worlds but have a common taste for painting, color and images.
Their collaboration, from 1984 to 1985, was as supersonic as it was fruitful, 160 canvases together.
The Louis Vuitton Foundation shows 84 of them in
Basquiat X Warhol.
À quatre mains
, an exhibition in the wake of the one dedicated to Jean-Michel Basquiat, in 2018, which welcomed 700,000 visitors.
This collaboration of two icons is unique in the history of art.

The reunion of Isabelle Huppert and Robert Wilson at the theater
Isabelle Huppert in
Mary said what she said
Lucie Jansch
What a duo that of Isabelle Huppert and Robert Wilson!
Their collaboration is not new.
There was
Orlando
after Virginia Woolf, then
Quartett
by Heiner Müller and finally
Mary said what she said
in 2019. The actress, who is also in the credits of
La Syndicalist
and
Mon Crime
takes over the role of Mary Stuart.
Corseted, in period dress, she interprets the last days of the Queen of Scotland.
Alone on stage, vibrant, hieratic, with precise diction and meticulous gestures, Isabelle Huppert recites a litany that mixes love, power and death.
An actress at the top of her game.

The new art season in Chaumont-sur-Loire
Wild cultivation.
Plants, gold leaf, pigments, stainless steel, wood and glass Sophie Blanc
Chaumont is a setting for the art seasons which, since 2008, have summoned all the imaginations thanks to the programming, between poetry and fantasy, by Chantal Colleu Dumond.
Fifteen artists are celebrating nature this year.
First, in the upper galleries of the castle, an unprecedented exhibition of the work on paper of Alechinsky, a painter who writes and whose brush plays in the margins.
We continue with Lee Ufan, an artist with a meditative work who has pulled an infinite thread in the mysterious King's Tower.
The wandering continues in the garden.
Perennial or ephemeral works that dialogue with the spirit of the place like
Menbrane,
produced in situ by Lionel Sabatté: everything here is placed under the sign of beauty and grace.

Françoise Petrovitch: Fragments of Love Painting
Françoise Petrovitch,
Untitled
, 2022, oil on canvas, diptych, 240 x 160 cm A. Mole, Courtesy Semiose, Paris Adagp, Paris, 2023
To like. Break up
.
Françoise Petrovitch's new exhibition embraces a whole sequence of amorous discourse.
Here it takes over the whole of the Musée de la Vie Romantique with around forty unpublished works illustrating the feeling of love.
With her, we are always between childhood and adolescence, between day and night... The double is a recurring theme in her work as well as the hybridization between humans and animals.
The course is articulated in two stages, too.
The large workshop presents a panorama of fifteen ink washes on paper.
In the garden, her sculpture
Ogresse
is a hymn to the feminine.
It is no longer the man who eats little girls, but the reverse.
Very MeToo!
Francoise Petrovitch. To like. Rompre

The art of gardens in Europe: an invitation to meditation
The art of gardens in Europe,
Yves-Marie Allain and Janine Christiany (Editions Citadelles and Mazenod) SP
This beautiful book looks like a grand tour of the gardens of Europe.
170 places are listed there as so many stopovers, from the gardens of the Alhambra to the Monet house in Giverny, from the Villa Borghese to the park of the Palace of Versailles, from the garden of the Fronteira Palace in Lisbon to the botanical garden of Kew... This sum also reviews the different styles of gardens, from the Renaissance to the 20th century and the know-how associated with them.
Nothing is forgotten in this work which addresses conviviality and pleasure, the symbol of power, philosophical or religious reflections... Or the place of man in these green spaces.
The art of gardens in Europe,
by Yves-Marie Allain and Janine Christiany, Citadelles and Mazenod editions, 632p, 95 euros.
