« JOAN MITCHELL: SUNFLOWERS AND LIFE CYCLES »
An American painter of the post-war era, Joan Mitchell emerged as a leading figure of lyrical abstraction, working between Paris and New York. Inspired by nature, landscapes, and inner emotion, she developed a vibrant gestural language that fused painterly intensity with existential depth. Sunflowers, which she depicted at every stage of their life cycle, became metaphors for solitude, vitality, and the passage of time.
This talk will delve into the sensitive world of Joan Mitchell through her floral works created between 1968 and 1992, reflecting both her emotional states and her creative force.
The conference will be led by Mara Hoberman, senior researcher for the Joan Mitchell catalogue raisonné. Based in Paris, she is also an art critic for Artforum and has collaborated with prestigious institutions such as the Palais de Tokyo, the Fondation Louis Vuitton, and the ICA Miami.
The event will be followed by a friendly gathering with drinks, offering an opportunity for informal conversation. Talk in French

MARY CASSATT, A BRIDGE BETWEEN FRANCE AND AMERICA
An American painter living in France, Mary Cassatt was one of the few women to exhibit alongside the Impressionists. A close friend of Degas and admired by her peers, she made a name for herself in a male-dominated art world without ever compromising her independence. Remaining unmarried, she made motherhood a central theme of her work, which she approached with modern and radical tenderness. This lecture offers a rediscovery of a transatlantic figure who was both pioneering, intimate, and committed.
The lecture is given by Sylvie Patin, honorary chief curator at the Musée d'Orsay and correspondent for the Académie des Beaux-Arts. She has studied the museum's Impressionist collection for around thirty years and has published numerous works translated into several languages. *Talk in french
