Programme
REMINISCENCE
This major European exhibition marks Elizabeth Colomba’s institutional debut in France, her country of birth.
Bringing together 31 works — including 15 large-scale oil paintings, 14 preparatory drawings, and 2 watercolors, many of which have never been shown before — the event offers a rich and immersive overview of Colomba’s practice, where themes of beauty, power, identity, and historical memory are explored through a distinctly European lens.
From the baroque splendor of Vermeer and Caravaggio to the orientalist fantasies of Ingres and Constant, and the refined portraits of Sargent to the rococo grace of Vigée Le Brun, Colomba engages in a dialogue with the very canons that once projected wealth, prestige, and power. Her canvases, lush with silks, pearls, gemstones, and opulent interiors, also abound with historical references and symbolism — recalibrated to subvert inherited codes.
FAMM : The collection
FAMM’s temporary exhibitions programme will begin after the summer. In the meantime, visitors are invited to explore a curated selection from the museum’s permanent collection, spanning key artistic movements from Impressionism to contemporary art. Nearly 100 works from the Levett Collection are on display, all created by female artists from around the world. Among them, Berthe Morisot, Joan Mitchell, Lee Krasner, Alice Neel, Marina Abramović, Frida Kahlo, Tracey Emin, Sarah Lucas.
