Tilla Durieux was a celebrated star of the film and theater, a modern woman of the 1920s, politically active and perhaps the most portrayed woman of her time. The roles of Tilla Durieux (1880-1971) were as varied as the artists for whom she posed as a model, among them Auguste Renoir, Max Slevogt, Lovis Corinth, Franz von Stuck, Charley Toorop, Ernst Barlach, Oskar Kokoschka, Max Oppenheimer and the photographers Lotte Jacobi and Frieda Riess.

Exhibition: Feliu Elias. Reality as an Obsession
From 30.11.2022 to 19.03.2023
MNAC, Barcelona
www.museunacional.cat/ca/feliu-elias-la-realitat-com-obsessio
Organised by Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC)
This exhibition will focus on the contradictory and dogmatic personality of Feliu Elias (Barcelona, ??1878-1948). An artist with a multifaceted personality in which the painter Elias, the caricaturist Apa, the historian and art critic Joan Sacs and even the "Green Devil", another of his aliases when he signs articles on technique, coexist and painting trades.
The exhibition will present a synthesis of his creative activity, focusing especially on his miniaturist brushwork painting that, within a magical realism, equally exalts his familiar sphere - a humble light bulb, a fried egg, a toile de Jouy, an Elizabethan chair or a mortar- than his daughters or artistic passions, such as Dutch painting, Alfred Sisley or Chinese ceramics. It is a painting that is not subject to major technical evolutions, that remains impassive and faithful to specific themes throughout its entire life, and that radiates its predilection for material culture

Exhibition: Aristides Maillol: The Quest for Harmony
From 25.02.2023 to 28.05.2023
Roubaix
www.roubaix-lapiscine.com/expositions/exposition-maillol/
Organised by La Piscine, Musée d'art et industrie
Maillol, very present in Paris thanks to the bronzes installed in the Carrousel gardens by Dina Vierny and André Malraux, and inaugurating the sculpture gallery of La Piscine with Île-de-France, the Catalan Aristides Maillol appears as a sculptor as essential as he is misunderstood and little known.
Thanks to exceptional loans, Maillol's work is presented in all its variety: mainly sculptures, but also paintings, ceramics, embroidery and decorative art objects, as well as drawings and engravings. Although the exhibition covers his entire career, it focuses in particular on the early period, during which Maillol discovered his true vocation and established himself as a sculptor.
Exhibition: Klimt. Inspired by Van Gogh, Rodin, Matisse...
From 03.02.2023 to 29.05.2023
Lower Belvedere, Vienna
www.belvedere.at/en/klimt-inspired-van-gogh-rodin-matisse
Organised by Museum Belvedere
Who inspired Gustav Klimt, the great master of Viennese Modernism? How familiar was he with Vincent van Gogh? Had he ever seen a work by Henri Matisse? The collaborative exhibition between the Belvedere in Vienna and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam follows a trail that starts with Klimt's artistic forerunners and leads to his contemporaries. In striking juxtaposition, the show displays works by Klimt, Van Gogh, Matisse, and many others.
Curated by Markus Fellinger (Belvedere, Vienna), Edwin Becker (Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam) and Renske Suijver (Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam).
Exhibition: Léon Spilliaert. With the North Sea...
From 27.01.2023 to 29.05.2023
Fondation de l'Hermitage, Lausanne
www.fondation-hermitage.ch/home/infos-pratiques/visuels/
Organised by Fondation de l'Hermitage
The Fondation de l'Hermitage is devoting a major retrospective to one of the most important Belgian artists of the early 20th century: Léon Spilliaert (Ostend 1881-Brussels 1946). Self-taught, trained in the literature of his time, and convinced of his destiny as a chosen artist, Spilliaert is the author of a work of profound originality, bathed in metaphysical questions and Flemish culture, and produced almost exclusively on paper. Mixing graphic techniques, the Ostend artist weaves links with contemporary symbolism and expressionism and seems to announce, in his most radical landscapes, simplified to the extreme, geometric abstraction and minimalism.
