Never these fragile treasures are leaving the country.
another first: the discovery of popular crafts the Muse du Branly, or how, before and after the war, while a movement of conservation of traditional forms objects of use was born and grew on both sides of the archipelago. In their simplicity and elegance, these ceramics, these kimonos fiber plant and bamboo furniture express intensely zen ancestral wisdom and foreshadow the most complete design (from September 29 to 11 January 2009).
It will also establish parentage (October 22 to 31 January 2009) the House of Culture of Japan, which the sleek cutlery, watches, teapots, handbags, furniture and office supplies created by the new masters in harmony of the country's rising sun.

P , painting in the eye
GRAND PALAIS. There is him and there is everyone else. "P and masters", it could register as a titanic confrontation, a match Homeric as the Minotaur will have ceased, throughout his long career, tapping into museums (our editions of 26 August).
It is feared the too-full with this draft reunion of 210 masterpieces signed Greco, Velasquez, Goya, Zurbaran, Ribera, Melndez, Poussin, Le Nain, Dubois, Chardin, David, Ingres , Courbet, Lautrec, Degas, Puvis de Chavannes, Cezanne, Renoir, Gauguin, the Douanier Rousseau, Titian, Cranach, Rembrandt and Van Gogh - the largest ever made in Paris, "there - which will occupy both Galeries du Grand Palais that the Louvre (with variations on Women of Algiers by Delacroix) and Orsay (with those on the Lunch on the Grass Manet).
But we must reckon with imagination, intelligence and humour P which, far from destroying or have an overwhelming ego, will have ceased to pay tribute to innovative in the dialogue.
There is even is a strong likelihood that his gaze makes us great contemporary old so recognized, installed so that sometimes we do see more (from 8 October to February 2, 2009).
Mantegna, lights and mysteries
LOUVRE. Why are these strings if cowardly linking Saint Sebastian in his column antique? Are there any battles in the clouds as suggested Vinci. What does this warrior pensive amid a bloody melee, questioned Proust. And what are the traits of Averroes in the face of one of its Magi?
issues relating to the work of Andrea Mantegna (1431-1506) are inexhaustible and all exciting since they affect both the faith that philosophy. Read Mantegna is read the history of ideas just after Petrarch, when discussing the University of Padua who would give birth to the modern age.
New questions still arise about this master of the Renaissance all that is the subject of a major retrospective (September 26 to 25 January 2009) in the Hall Napoleon, the main temporary exhibition space of the institution. Which, after Italy, has all the most important paintings of this major artist, a master of perspective (not designed to be a vulgar trompe-l' but as a tool metaphysical). A model for Bellini who was his son-in-law, but also for Drer as the aura of the Italian shone from his time beyond borders.
Louvre, will be gathered including the three panels of the altar of San Zeno. And Queen Elizabeth II ready bearers of the vases, a painting that has never left England since 1630.
Emil Nolde, honor the "degenerated"
GRAND PALAIS. First retrospective in France devoted to Emil Nolde (25 September-19 January 2009). It was one of the "stars" of the notorious exhibition of "degenerate art" of the Nazi regime in 1937, which is normal as it remains one of the major representatives of German Expressionism. Emil Nolde (1867-1956) was prolific, the Grand Palais brings together ninety paintings (including the exceptional presence of The Life of Christ Foundation Seebll to Nolde, Germany) and seventy watercolors, engravings and drawings. The color is rough, rude, pure and flat, between Otto Dix and Van Dongen, often in the service of faith expressed in a primitive religiosity any.
Van Dyck, reflecting concern < p> -ANDR Virtuosity, elegance, refinement: after David and Fragonard, the museum offers a retrospective Antoon Van Dyck (1599-1641), this student of Rubens inspired by Titian, who was the favorite portraitist of the court of England ( October 8 to 25 January 2009).
Presented in addition to the funds own, in a staging signed Hubert Le Gall ( "Design against Design", "Melancholy - Genius and madness in the West" or "Edouard Vuillard "Grand Palais), many works of prestigious museums in Europe and the USA come for the first time in France.
An invitation promising therefore to enter into the intimacy and grandeur of the 'England of Stuart. With Van Dyck, the art of pleasing and dazzle is at its peak. But his genius is never to forget the merits of being melancholy, almost pensive gaze, falsely seconded that major aristocrats cover their destiny and the world. Personal and political lines intersecting or s' but for how long? Car in jewelry, silk, velvet, satin and feathers, pointing a concern but some deaf. It is proof of humanism that we called him the "gentleman painter."
THE breakaway northern
LILLE. Between 1870 and 1914, driven by the conservatism of academies Copenhagen, Stockholm and Dusseldorf, many Scandinavian and Finnish artists were joining communities painters settled in Fontainebleau, Barbizon, Gretz-sur-Loing or on the shores of La Mancha .
does not. The French institutions, especially the provincial museums, have always collected and today the Palais des Beaux-Arts, Lille brings together the best of these funds (from October 10 to 11 January 2009). More than a hundred works of both soft and footprints spleen, including some thirty are from the Musee d'Orsay (Munch, Hammersho, Jansson, Acke, Strindberg). Portraits moving, intimate and familiar scenes, landscapes sea, pristine nature, preferably with a light snow incredibly crystalline ... And as many clocks arrested over a period of time that passes and we did not find ...
delights of Madame de Pompadour
TOURS. Jeanne Antoinette Poisson: this the Court, beginning with Louis XV. "The divine " in the words of Voltaire, was a woman of the Enlightenment. It should not just his dazzling charm, far away. Woman spirit and taste (you can say it has helped invent the "good taste"), Madame de Pompadour protected the arts, which made him quite well, as will demonstrate the exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts Tours (October 11 to January 12). Libertinage and pleasure of the senses with the program Boucher, Fragonard, Hubert Robert, Van Loo, but also Chardin and Greuze. A nice walk in the imaginary museum of Diderot in perspective.
Van Gogh's friend and Provence
MARSEILLE. He has never met, but for the light of Provence, it was his guide. Van Gogh has watched the canvases of the painter Adolphe Monticelli Marseille (1824-1886). And for the first time forging a dialogue between the two artists, the famous and "regional".
Eighteen paintings of Dutch madman and a form of consecration in the second. "I am sure that I continue his work as if I was his son or his brother, repeating the same cause, living the same life, dying the same death," wrote the first about the second. Landscapes, portraits and flowers, all the colors solar, the cultural centre of the Old Charity (from September 16 to January 11, 2009). A beautiful meeting tanning to face the winter?
