Rethinking Still Life in the 20th Century
From 20/10/2025
to 23/12/2025
This autumn, the HELENE BAILLY MARCILHAC gallery presents “Rethinking Still Life in the 20th Century” - a journey through a century of artistic transformations, brought together in a selection of around thirty works.
From Auguste Renoir to Fernand Léger, including Félix Vallotton, Konchalovsky, and Zao Wou-Ki, the exhibition brings renewed substance, texture, and form to a genre long overlooked.
Behind the apparent simplicity of fruits, flowers, or everyday objects, the artists unveil a sense of the sacred, the passage of time, and rich symbolic meaning.
To extend the narrative, the HELENE BAILLY MARCILHAC gallery also invites a few contemporary voices, such as Clémentine de Chabaneix and Julie Hamisky - both artists and granddaughters of Claude Lalanne.
Far from being a static genre, still life emerges here as more vibrant than ever.
