The term trompe-l'œil was first used by Louis Léopold Boilly (1761-1845) as a caption to a work exhibited at the Salon of 1800. The term was adopted thirty-five years later by the Académie française. Although the term was coined in the 19th century, the origins of trompe-l'œil can be traced back to a much earlier account by Pliny the Elder (c.23-79 AD), who relates in his Natural History how the painter Zeuxis (464-398 BC), in a competition with the painter Parrhasius, depicted grapes so perfectly that birds flew around them. Over the centuries, trompe-l'œil has evolved through a variety of mediums, revealing itself to be plural. It plays with the viewer's gaze, winking at the traps set by our own perceptions. While certain themes of trompe-l'œil are well known - such as vanitas, hunting trophies, letter carriers and grisailles - other aspects will be explored in this exhibition, such as decorative variations (furniture, earthenware, etc.) and the political significance of this pictorial genre from the revolutionary era to modern and contemporary versions.

With exhibition curators, Sylvie Carlier, conservatrice du musée Marmottan Monet, and Aurélie Gavoille, attachée de conservation au musée Marmottan Monet

Mission Recherche

The Amis invite you day trip focused on Jacqueline Dauriac and her practice. As a part of the programme an encounter with the artist in her studio and a visit of L’œil vérité exhibition at Mac Val.

Though conceptual art, installations, photography, Jacqueline Dauriac plays with shapes and colors to divert perceptions of everyday life. The artist defines her artistic approach as “a practice of proposing fields of sensation”. Starting from the principle that “it is the viewer who makes the work”, she transforms the appearance of spaces in an attempt to alter the spectator's awareness of the viewers other surroundings.

With Michel Gauthier, conservateur au Service des collections contemporaines
