Musee du Petit Palais

Reviewed By 227ianc - London, United Kingdom

The Petit Palais in Avignon was built during the period of the Avignon Papacy by Cardinal Berenger Fredoli the Elder in around 1318–20 and in 1335 became the Archbishop's Palace. The interior today is much as it was then and houses an impressive collection of religious art from Romanesque to Renaissance, including a Virgin and Child by Botticelli. In an interesting initiative, each year the Parcours de l'Art and the Petit Palais museum allow an artist to show works that interact with the museum's art collections. For 2019, Ernst Günther Herrmann has placed his metal sculptures in various rooms of the museum, next to sculptures and paintings of the from the 12th to the 15th centuries. A great initiative which purists will hate, but is a means of connecting across the centuries.

À notre époque où le développement durable est devenu une priorité absolue, les artistes contemporains s’emparent avec une acuité particulière de cette question de fond. Ils y trouvent également une riche source d’inspiration pour récréer un monde nouveau. Délibérément, par conviction ou par choix, les artistes ont recours au déchet comme matériau artistique à part entière, renonçant à l’acquisition de matériaux dit « nobles » pour créer ou composer leurs œuvres.
