Paris 1900 Type: Exposition City: BRUSSELS Location: Musée d'Ixelles From 30/1/2002 to 21/4/2002 URL:http://www.musee-ixelles.be The Paris of the Belle Epoque In the early 20th century, Paris attained the status of the world's arts capital. Transformed by the abundant inspiration of its artists, even the most everyday scene could be reborn as a world-class masterpiece. Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec and Cheret managed to elevate street scenes whose very banality made them moving and unique. Despite their superficial role, the elegance of Parisian women - an emblem of the new century - served as extraordinary inspiration for many painters, including Renoir. Our memories of the Paris of 1900 also include an outstanding World Exposition, the one that gave birth to the Petit Palais and the Eiffel Tower, now essential Parisian monuments. Through nine topics that offer a panorama of art in the French capital in the early 20th century, the exhibition seeks to showcase the city's extraordinary artistic wealth.
