Eugène Carrière, Behind the Scenes of Creation

The exhibition traces the creative process of Eugène CARRIERE, from the conception to the end of a painting. The most spontaneous path between thought and gesture, drawing is the first draft, according to CARRIERE, of an authenticity claimed as the absolute value of Art.
The proposed course is based largely on eight unpublished notebooks, offered to the museum by the descendants of Eugène CARRIERE. One can easily imagine CARRIERE, notebook and pencil (sometimes charcoal) in the hand, taking on the live scenes of everyday life, childish expressions, landscapes that were once seen by the train, notes not to forget like the list of pigments and some other founding texts inspired by the present moment. Other themes are addressed such as the Belleville Theatre, the great work of Eugène CARRIERE of the collection of the Rodin Museum, which restores the atmosphere of its popular audience to the DAUMIER; the representation of the work with the posters Le Mineur and Le Fondeur designed for the Universal Exhibition of 1900; Pablo CASALS and VERLAINE, the painter’s favorite portraits; the familiar objects of the workshop: his easel, his box of colors, a palette.

From his birth in Gournay on January 16, 1849, we remember a double birth to life and art. It was because of his place of birth that Eugène Carrière obtained a scholarship for the Beaux-Arts which proved decisive in his desire to become a painter. In the entrance hall, self-portraits and photographs reveal the face of a man of temperament whose confidence masks questions about his time. More confidential aspects of his work, such as the lithographic part, are exhibited. At the forefront of the painters-engravers, Eugène Carrière transposes the sculptural construction of his works onto stone or copper. Inspired by childhood, to which a section of the exhibition is devoted, Eugène Carrière is a portrait painter of intimacy and emotion. Landscape artist in his own time, the painter delivers in rare paintings a very personal understanding of nature. The representation of femininity occupies a central place in the work of Eugène Carrière. She often took on the traits of Sophie Adelaïde Desm
