For the first time the exhibition "Sargent and Spain" presents approximately 120 dazzling oils, watercolors, and drawings, many of which are rarely exhibited. Also featured from the artist's travels are some 28 never-before published photographs, several almost certainly taken by Sargent himself.

Celebrated as the leading society portraitist of his era, John Singer Sargent influenced a generation of American painters. His personal captivation with Spain resulted in a remarkable body of work that documents his extensive travels from the north to the south and to the island of Majorca. Over three decades Sargent responded to the country's rich culture by producing landscapes and marine scenes, pictures of everyday life, and architectural studies, as well as sympathetic portrayals of the locals he encountered.

The exhibition explores the life and work of the English artist and his fundamental contribution to the recognition of the applied arts.
Never before presented in such magnitude in France, the work of the visionary William Morris strongly marked his time by theorizing a social, political, ecological and artistic utopia. He was the main builder of the foundations of what would later be called Arts & Crafts, a movement which defended the presence of art in everything and for everyone in response to the industrialization of craftsmanship.
