From July 17 to October 12, the Pushkin Museum in Moscow is dedicating an exhibition in its wing for 20th-century painting and sculpture. This exhibition is dedicated to the women muses and women artists of the great Montparnasse era, accompanied by the male artists in their circle, for whom they served as muses and inspirers.
It is titled “Muses of Montparnasse.”
Sylvie Buisson extends her sincere thanks to the team at this museum, with whom she had to work remotely, even for the particularly wonderful hanging of the exhibition. I am grateful to the organizers on site in Moscow for their diligent work, to Marina Loshak, Director of the Pushkin Museum, for her trust, Maria Salina, First Deputy Director at the Pushkin Museum, Alexey Petukhov, Curator, and Natalia Kortunova, Curator (Moscow).
The exhibition benefits from exceptional loans from the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, the Russian State Museum, Saint Petersburg, the Regional Museum of Fine Arts, the Cinema Museum, Moscow, the State Archives of Literature
and Art, Moscow, the Museum of Modern Art, Paris, the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon, and the Camille Claudel Museum, Nogent-sur-Seine, from major Parisian and Russian galleries, and from private collections, all of whom are warmly thanked here.
Franco-Russian coordination was provided by Irina Lebelle.
The exhibition, which concludes on October 3, was a great success.
