uring the years of his intense activity between the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th, Maurice Denis played a fundamental role in the history of the early European avant-garde movements, as refined painter and leading theoretician in the artistic and cultural debate. Through a chronological itinerary based around more than 100 works, his vast eclectic activity as painter, but also draughtsman, decorator, photographer, critic and art historian. The exhibition will include famous masterpieces from the permanent collections of the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, generously lent to Mart, but also less well-known or unpublished ones, will make it possible to examine every aspect of his activity: from the Nabis period to the more markedly Symbolist one, and on to the phase in which Denis rediscovered what critics have defined as a “new classicism”.
