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.

The National Gallery in London
www.nationalgallery.org.uk/events/talks-and-conversations-curators-introduction-after-impressionism-inventing-modern-art-members-talk-and-q-a-21-03-2023
Organised by The National Gallery in London
The installation explores a period of great upheaval when artists broke with established tradition and laid the foundations for the art of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
The decades between 1880 and the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 were a complex, vibrant period of artistic questioning, searching, risk-taking and innovation. The installation celebrates the achievements of three giants of the era: Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin. It follows the influences they had on their peers, on younger generations of French artists and on wider circles of artists across Europe in Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels and Vienna.
With over a hundred works by painters ranging from Klimt and Kokoschka, Matisse and Picasso to Mondrian and Kandinsky, complemented by a selection of sculpture by artists including Rodin and Camille Claudel, the presentation follows the creation of a new modern art, free of convention, taking in Expressionism, Cubism and Abstraction.
It also includes some of the most iconic works of art created during these decades. Important loans come to the exhibition from institutions and private collections worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Musée d'Orsay and Musée Rodin, Paris; Art Institute of Chicago; National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh; Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, Barcelona; Tate Modern, London; and the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford, Connecticut.

Exhibition: Formes of Nature. Jugendstil ceramic works by Henry van de Velde
From 22.03.2023 to 02.11.2023
Haus Hohe Pappeln, Weimar
www.klassik-stiftung.de/en/your-visit/exhibition/forms-of-nature/
Organised by Klassic Stiftung Weimar
The exhibition "Forms of Nature" presents twenty privately owned ceramic works by Henry van de Velde.
The presentation highlights his interest in natural forms and underlines the influence that the naturalist Ernst Haeckel
had on the new designs of the Jugendstil period. Flowers, shells and insects were always a source of inspiration for the
Belgian art reformer Henry van de Velde. In Van de Velde's vases, for example, one can recognise jellyfish or octopuses,
which are jellyfish or octopuses, while his vegetal ornamentation is reminiscent of abstract flowers.

It also highlights the lasting influence of the artist, a source of inspiration for today's creation, from street art to manga, from cinema to tattooing.

It also focusses on the major role of his masters: architects Alphonse Balat, Eugène Viollet-le-Duc and Joseph Poelaert. The show hopes to liberate Horta's work from all preconceived ideas, painting a portrait of the architect that takes into account all of his contradictions.
