REPENSER LA NATURE MORTE: 71, RUE DU FAUBOURG SAINT-HONORÉ, PARIS 8E

20 October 2025 - 5 January 2026
Overview

This autumn, the 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 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.
