From 1994 to 2007, Laurence des Cars was a curator at the musée d’Orsay, then from 2007 to 2014, she was Scientific Director of Agence France-Muséums, the French operator in charge of developing the Louvre Abu Dhabi. In January 2014, Laurence des Cars was appointed Director of the Musée de l’Orangerie. A specialist in 19 th and early 20 th century art, Laurence des Cars curated many exhibitions including Édouard Vuillard (Washington, National Gallery of Art; Montreal, Museum of Fine Arts; Paris, Galeries nationales du Grand Palais, London, Royal Academy of Art, 2003-2004); Gustave Courbet (Paris, Galeries nationales du Grand Palais; New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art; Montpellier; Musée Fabre, 2007-2008); Jean-Léon Gérôme (Los Angeles, Getty Museum; Paris, Musée d’Orsay; Madrid, Museo Thyssen, 2010-2011); Louvre Abu Dhabi. Birth of a Museum (Paris, Musée du Louvre; Abu Dhabi, Saadiyat Al Manarat, 2014); Sade. Attacking the Sun (Paris, Musée d’Orsay, 2014-2015); Apollinaire. The Eyes of the Poet (Paris, Musée de l’Orangerie, 2016). She published Nineteenth Century French Art (1819-1905) (Flammarion, 2006), edited by Henri Loyrette, former President-Director of the Musée du Louvre, and in collaboration with Sébastien Allard, Director of Paintings at the Musée du Louvre. She edited the book “Louvre Abu Dhabi, Birth of a Museum” (Flammarion, Musée du Louvre, 2013), and was one of the curators for the “Louvre Abu Dhabi, Birth of a Museum” exhibition presented at the Musée du Louvre from April to July 2014. Since her appointment in March 2017, Laurence des Cars has completely renewed and revitalised the Musées d’Orsay et de l’Orangerie. For these two collections, the finest in the world for Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, Laurence des Cars has rolled out a programme of exhibitions, live shows and a new presentation of the works oriented towards all audiences, and open to the artists of today. The exhibitions at the Orangerie: Picasso. Blue and Rose (2018-2019), Black Models: from Géricault to Matisse (2019), Berthe Morisot (2019), Degas at the Opera (2019-2020) at Orsay, The Water Lilies. American Abstract Painting and the Last Monet (2018), The Cruel Stories of Paula Rego (2018-2019) have been praised as much for their historical accuracy as for their relevance to the art and society of today. The invitations to contemporary creators, Julian Schnabel, Glenn Ligon, Tracey Emin, Yan Pei- Ming, Maylis de Kerangal, collaborations with Abd Al Malik, the Théâtre du Châtelet (“Picasso Circus”), the Opéra de Paris (“Degas Danse”) and the performance by the Berlin Philharmonic in the nave of Orsay, are just some of the many examples of this desire for openness and cultural polyphony. In 2019, the Musées d’Orsay et de l’Orangerie experienced a record number of visitors, predicted to reach, by the end of the year, 3 600 000 visitors for Orsay and over a million for the Orangerie. Laurence des Cars is a Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur, Chevalier of the National Order of Merit and Officer of Arts and Letters. .

Les Préraphaélites, Modernistes Et Réactionnaires Muriel Pécastaing-Boissière Maître De Conférence En Civilisation Britannique À L’Université De Paris IV-Sorbonne
Les Préraphaélites, modernistes et réactionnaires Muriel Pécastaing-Boissière Maître de conférence en civilisation britannique à l’université de Paris IV-Sorbonne En septembre 1848, alors que l'Europe était en pleine effervescence révolutionnaire, sept jeunes gens farouchement opposés aux conventions de la Royal Academy de Londres fondèrent la Confrérie Préraphaélite. Parmi eux se trouvaient John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt et Dante Gabriel Rossetti, bientôt rejoints par William Morris et Edward Burne-Jones. Influencés par le Gothic Revival et les théories esthétiques de John Ruskin ainsi que par les réflexions morales et religieuses de leur temps, les Préraphaélites choisirent de renouveler la peinture britannique en s'inspirant d'un art médiéval idéalisé. Ils rejetèrent en effet l'enseignement de Raphaël et les règles de la représentation nées de la Renaissance pour leur préférer les primitifs italiens – d'où leur nom – et le naturalisme. Nous avons demandé à Muriel Pécastaing-Boissière en quoi ce mouvement qui semblait réactionnaire put scandaliser et bouleverser les milieux victoriens. Réalisme archaïsant et néogothique Dans les années 1830 et 1840, la peinture victorienne était fortement influencée par l'art du roman et les toiles narratives, moralisatrices et souvent mièvres de David Wilkie, William Mulready ou William Powell Frith rencontraient un immense succès. Prisonnier des conventions, répétitif et victime d'un enseignement académique, l'art pictural était dans l'impasse. Cependant, deux événements artistiques annoncèrent bientôt la révolte préraphaélite. Déjà, nombre d'artistes et d'intellectuels victoriens plaidaient pour un renouveau gothique, l'art médiéval étant perçu comme un modèle de sincérité et de liberté. Après l'incendie des Maisons du Parlement de 1834, le choix des peintres chargés de la réalisation des fresques intérieures fut confié à une commission présidée par le Prince Albert, d'origine germanique et grand collectionneur de Primitifs italiens.

Jericho and the Pre-Raphaelites
1 Jericho and the Pre-Raphaelites John William Waterhouse, The Lady of Shallot The past is not dead, it is living in us, and will be alive in the future which we are now helping to make. William Morris Few people are aware that the area of Oxford known as Jericho has a number of striking connections with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood which, as well as being the only British art movement to take on international significance, has claims to being the best-loved art movement of all. The Pre-Raphaelites' patron Thomas Combe, in company with his wife Martha, presided over what became a kind of "good-humoured salon" [Jon Whiteley, 'Oxford and the Pre-Raphaelites', Oxford: Ashmolean Museum, 1989, p. 26] in Jericho at the Combe's residence in Walton Street and the existence of this Jericho base led to the creation of a series of memorable paintings which were first of all painted, then hung and exhibited in Jericho. In 1850 Combe, who was then printer to the university, came across John Everett 2 Millais in Botley Wood where, together with Charles Collins - Wilkie's brother - he was engaged in painting. Combe took an interest in what they were both doing and invited them back to Jericho for lunch. Millais and Collins declined the invitation on the grounds that they were too busy. However, undeterred, Combe sent them over a hamper of food on his return and this was how the relationship began - one which would establish Jericho as a stamping-ground for Collins and Millais, later to be followed by other members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

Who Is the Louvre's New Director? Colleagues Describe Laurence des Cars as a Keen Art Historian With the Savoir-Faire of a Diplomat People (https://news.artnet.com/art-world/people) Who Is the Louvre’s New Director? Colleagues Describe Laurence des Cars as a Keen Art Historian With the Savoir-Faire of a Diplomat Former colleagues and friends of Des Cars describe her as an academic with an open mind, a knack for people, and nerves of steel. Devorah Lauter (https://news.artnet.com/about/devorah-lauter-1356), June 4, 2021 Portrait of Laurence des Cars. © Franck Ferville. Olivier Gabet had a good job—one that he had fought hard for—at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. But when the seasoned museum professional Laurence des Cars called him to see if he would join her in helping to create a new museum in Abu Dhabi from the ground up, the decision was easy. “Overnight, I left my great job,” he recalled. “I knew that with her, it was going to be fascinating.” This is a recurring theme in conversations about Des Cars, 54, who will take over the Louvre in Paris this fall. When she calls, you would be wise to pick up the phone. https://news.artnet.com/art-world/laurence-des-cars-profile-1976339 1/5 Who Is the Louvre's New Director?

Nowhere is the confluence of these arts more evident than in Rossetti’s pairings of poems and pictures. Rossetti began with early artistic pieces to accompany his readings and translations of Dante Alighieri, but his interest eventually flowered into the creation of paired paintings to accompany his own poetry and poems that explicate his art.
