Exhibition "The Surveyors of Dreams. Drawings of the Musée d'Orsay"

® Musée d'Orsay, Dist. RMN-Grand Palais / Patrice Schmidt

The Musée d'Orsay has a collection of about 55,000 drawings, including several hundred notebooks and pastels, drawn by more than 6,000 different artists. This collection is both vertiginous and random: vertigo of number, chance of donations, bequests, sales, opportunities, personalities, encounters, allowing to sketch a history of art of the period 1848-1914. The drawings, often from the intimate world of artists, are less known and less documented than the masterpieces on display. The exhibition of the Palais Lumière is therefore an opportunity to value them, to study them, and to offer a rich insight into the practice of drawing during the second half of the nineteenth century, through the various aspects of this medium, both in the techniques (pastel, charcoal, watercolor, ink, graphite...) only in the uses (sketchbooks, illustrations projects, beautiful presentation sheets...). The thread that connects the surveyors chosen in the exhibition is the dream, understood in the broad sense of inner life, of the relationship between subjectivity and reality, of overcoming the visible, of dreaming, daydreaming and creative imagination. The itinerary is divided into five sections: interior views or figures of dream and daydreaming; dreamlike experiences of the landscape; by monsters and wonders; through pages and drawings inspired by music. Scientific Commission: Leïla Jarbouai, Chief Curator at the Musée d'Orsay with the collaboration of Geraldine Masson, Graphic Arts Scientist, Musée d'Orsay. General Commission in Evian, William Saadé, Honorary Chief Curator of Heritage.

About the location

Palais Lumière
Quai Albert Besson, 74500 Évian-les-Bains, Haute-Savoie, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
  • Haute-Savoie
  • Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
The Light palace is at origin a thermal establishment. Conceived(Designed) by the architect Ernest Brunarius, the establishment was inaugurated in 1902\. It is one of the most beautiful stories of the architecture of the cities of waters of the beginning of the XXth century. Having located facing lake, facing the neighbourhood of the town hall (old(former) villa of the Lumière brothers), it enjoys a central and privileged location. In 1996, the city of Evian becomes again possessing the building(ship) and is concerned about its conservation. Shortly after, his(her,its) main facade, his(her,its) entrance hall, his(her,its) hall and his(her,its) decorations(sets) are registered on the inventory of Historic monuments. The main hall was in the past a place of society life(polite small talk) which made at once service(office) of waiting room and of refreshment bar. Lighted(Enlightened) by beautiful stained-glass windows, it was restored as before. It shelters especially four allegoric statues of sources(springs), signed by the sculptor Louis-Charles Beylard. The side walls of the entry porch are adorned with two stuck paintings(cloths), "Nymphs to the Source(Spring)" and "Nymphs at the water's edge", attributed(awarded) to Jean D. Benderly, raises(brings up) Puvis of Chavanne. The main facade alternates white stone and straw-coloured earthenware. It is an only choice in Leman thermal architecture. Moreover, the building found the dome which combed(put on) it at origin. Since 2006, the establishment, rechristened the Light palace, shelters a cultural area (media library and exhibition halls) as well as a centre of congress. Thanks to an adapted equipment and to a prestigious programme planning(programming), the city managed to make of the space of exhibition(exposure) a reference pole(point), following the example of the close Swiss museums.
