Gustave Moreau: vers le songe et l'abstrait
Alternate title
Vers le songe et l'abstrait
Abstract
Was Gustave Moreau (1826-98) - the Symbolist painter famed for his mysterious and moody paintings of biblical and mythological subjects - actually a pioneer of abstraction? This was a theory posited in the 1960s by some observers based on works in the Moreau archives that had no clear subject matter. Now the Musée Gustave Moreau has put together an exhibition, "Gustave Moreau: Vers le Songe et l'Abstrait" (Toward the Dream and the Abstract), to investigate the question.--Paris Update.
