After “Treasures in Black and White,” the Petit Palais presents a new exhibition dedicated to the artist’s portrait and self-portrait. Bringing together a wide selection of 19th-century works — paintings, sculptures, photographs, works on paper, and decorative arts — the museum revisits its masterpieces while unveiling rarely seen pieces.
In dialogue with the collection, ten contemporary women artists working in Paris explore the genre of portraiture between tradition and modernity, each affirming in her own way: “I am my work.”
