Description: Posing voluntarily or "sketched" without their knowledge, the children of the greatest artists have watched their illustrious parents live and work. Better than anyone, their portraits reveal a family atmosphere that has been more or less ignored by art history. Renoir, Cézanne, Manet, Monet, Denis, Derain, Picasso and Sabbagh - their offspring welcome you into their secret gardens, at the will of an original exhibition that is punctuated with major works and unheard testimony. Be they dressed like Belle Epoque princes or with the savvy negligence that our fashions dictate, these "model children" take their turn to speak and tell us about their sittings in their own way.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 291-294).
