Animal Beauty: From Durer to Jeff Koons, Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais, March 21 - July 16, 2012
The expositions at the Grand Palais have always been among the most significant events in the Parisian arts calendar, and this spring's Animal Beauty showing looks set to become another "must see". The focus of this show is on man's relationship with the animal kingdom - something that people have considered at least since the Stone Age, when our ancestors produced cave drawings of various creatures.
The starting point for this exhibition is the Renaissance and one of its most prominent representatives - Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), who painted animals precisely and realistically. The closing exhibit piece is by Jeff Koons (b.1955), whose bright, stainless steel "balloon dogs" have already become icons of contemporary art.
Visitors will be treated to a variety of paintings, drawings, photographs and sculptures by famous and lesser-known artists, including Leonardo da Vinci, Eugène Delacroix, Vincent van Gogh, Mark Chagall, Rembrandt, Louise Bourgeois and Andy Warhol.
