Born into an artistic family, Eva Gonzalès began studying under Édouard Manet at just twenty-two, becoming his only formal pupil. She soon developed a distinctive artistic voice of her own.

From intimate portraits of women to scenes of domestic and everyday life, Gonzalès captured the quiet moments of modern life with remarkable sensitivity. Her work is characterised by its attention to gesture, atmosphere and the changing world around her. A regular exhibitor at the Paris Salon, she gained significant recognition during her lifetime.

For L’Heure FAMM, art historian Elisabeth Jacquet will explore Eva Gonzalès’s life and work, offering an insight into her unique artistic world and her distinctive approach to intimacy and modernity.

On 6 November 2026, FAMM will inaugurate its second solo exhibition, In Plain Sight, dedicated to the work of Swiss artist Louisa Gagliardi and curated by Simon de Pury. The exhibition will be on view until 4 April 2027 at the Centre d’Art de Mougins, in the heart of the historic village, in partnership with the town of Mougins.

The first institutional exhibition dedicated to the artist in France, it spans two floors and brings together fifteen works created between 2017 and 2026, including a majority of paintings alongside three sculptures.

Gagliardi’s creative process lies at the intersection of the digital and the analogue. Her compositions feature figures who rarely look directly at one another. Instead, they observe each other through windows, reflections and doorways, within interiors that seem suspended in time. The visitor enters these scenes as an intruder, constructing their own narrative, which the artist deliberately leaves open-ended. The exhibition’s title sets the tone: what is hidden in plain sight.

Long overlooked by the dominant narratives of art history, the writings of women artists reveal their aspirations, struggles, and achievements. Through their own words, the podcast Women Artists Speak brings their version of history to life and offers a fresh perspective on art and the women who shaped it.

In this first season, co-produced by AWARE and the Musée d’Orsay, with the support of FAMM, discover the engaged women artists of the second half of the nineteenth century. Through their writings, they advocated for access to high-quality artistic education, the creation of women-only artistic societies, and the right to compete for the Prix de Rome, among other demands.
