Shedding light on the relationship between the painter Amedeo Modigliani and his dealer and gallery owner Paul Guillaume.

With the exhibition Amedeo Modigliani, Un peintre et son marchand, on show from 20 September 2023 to 15 January 2024, the Musée de l’Orangerie is exploring the relationship between the painter and his gallery owner Paul Guillaume. In 1914, Amedeo Modigliani, now living in Paris, decided to return to painting after a period devoted to sculpture. He met Paul Guillaume, who encouraged his style and became his art dealer. The two men shared a taste for African art, literature and poetry, and Paul Guillaume helped to make his paintings known in France and the United States. The exhibition sheds light on their relationship through the presentation of emblematic works by the painter.
