One has the impression that everything has been said about Picasso, the mythical artist of the 20th century. No work has provoked as much passion, debate and controversy as his. But who is aware today of the obstacles that paved the way for the young artist, convinced of his genius, who arrived in Paris in 1900 without speaking a word of French? How did Picasso find his bearings in this modern metropolis, still shaken by the aftermath of the Dreyfus Affair? How did he organize his first friendships and his first successes? Why, in 1940, when he was celebrated throughout the world, was his request for French naturalization refused? Why did his work remain invisible in the museums of his host country until 1947?

With Annie Cohen Solal, curator of the exhibition

The Pernod-Ricard Foundation welcomes Morgan Courtois for a solo exhibition starting February 8. Morgan Courtois follows in the footsteps of those who, at the emergence of Art Nouveau, were fascinated by botany. An avid reader, he is passionate about the world of living things. If he looks in the pages of scientific works for what gives nature its reasons for being, it is a poetic world with a sensitive aesthetic that his works translate.

With Zoé Stillpass, curator of the exhibition
