Van Gogh in Auvers-sur-Oise
Musée d'Orsay
Until 4 February 2024
The exhibition is devoted to the works produced by Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) during the last two months of his life, in Auvers-sur-Oise near Paris. The exhibition is the result of years of research on this crucial phase in the artist's life, and will finally enable the public to appreciate its true importance. Although the painter only spent a little over two months in Auvers, the period was one of artistic renewal with its own style and development, marked by the psychic tension resulting from his new situation as well as by some of his greatest masterpieces.

Centre Pompidou
Until 15 January 2024
To mark the 50th anniversary of Pablo Picasso's death (1881-1973), Centre Pompidou in collaboration with Musée National Picasso–Paris is showcasing his most prolific medium of creation: drawing.

The exhibition features nearly a thousand pieces – sketchbooks, drawings and engravings –, with well-known masterpieces alongside sketches presented for the first time, and offers a peek into a sort of private, compulsively kept diary.
