You are a tree!

From fascination to representation

 

A new exhibition with the exceptional support of the Musée d'Orsay that highlights the fascination generated by the tree, through the eyes of artists and scientists.

From the Middle Ages to today, the emphasis will be on modern and contemporary art: Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse, Carl André, Fabrice Hyber, Eva Jospin, Sebastião Salgado, Xavier Veilhan,...

Works of a disturbing and captivating strength and beauty, to get closer to the truth of the tree, to decipher it and better understand its relationship to man.

Masterpieces of the exhibition

There are billions of trees on earth. They are said to be part of the solution to the climate crisis. They surround us, protect us. We love them, we venerate them. These vegetal beings that soar, vertical, towards the sky and that hold on to the earth, look like us. There is man in the tree, as there is tree in man.
