David Brouzet, lead professor in old master art history, who teaches decorative arts at IESA arts&culture, is putting together with 1st-year Master in Old Master Art and Master in Cultural Heritage and Tourism students an exhibition on the theme of the garden, starting March 14, 2018.
He notably took part in the exhibition "Arts et Manières de table de l’Antiquité à nos jours" at the Château de Suze-la-Rousse (Drôme) in 2015, and in the exhibition on Madame de Sévigné at the Château de Grignan (Drôme) in 2017.
Last year, David Brouzet put together with 1st-year Master in Old Master Art students an exhibition on the art of living in the 18th century.
The exhibition "The Pleasures of the Hermitage" was held at the Pavillon de l’Ermitage, rue de Bagnolet, in the 20th arrondissement.
Titled “Gardens, Art of Living, and Know-How,” the exhibition will take place in the gallery and in the garden at 1, cité Griset in Paris’s 11th arrondissement, our new premises since September 2017.
This exhibition will last three weeks and will end on April 4, 2018. The event will benefit from the exceptional loan of a harpsichord as part of a partnership with the Early Music Department of the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Paris. Musicians from the Conservatoire will play once or twice a week throughout the exhibition.
Gardens, Art of Living, and Know-How
- The first section of the exhibition will recreate the studious atmosphere of a garden historian’s study through drawings, engravings, paintings, models, and furniture
- The second part will show how the garden became a decorative element in several artistic fields. The garden will also be presented as a place of leisure par excellence from the 19th century onward. Visitors will be able to photograph themselves or be photographed in front of two large painted canvases recreating the poetry of a Persian illumination and the whimsy of the Labyrinth of Versailles
- The third section will showcase the utensils and tools inspired by the vegetable garden and the orchard
Along the route, “portraits” of 23 gardens and their creators will be presented to visitors by each of the 23 students taking part in the project.
Several events will take place around the exhibition
- A presentation of the works loaned for the exhibition will take place every week in the gallery by the collectors
