Les Franciscaines<\/strong> :<\/p>\n Monet,\u00a0A legacy of Gardens<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n <\/i><\/b>One hundred years after the death of Claude Monet<\/b> (1840-1926) on December 5, 1926, in Giverny, Normandy is paying tribute to him in numerous ways. At the heart of this program, the Mus\u00e9e Les Franciscaines in Deauville offers a sensitive and contemporary reinterpretation of the legacy of the painter of the Water Lilies, placing his work in dialogue with that of artists around the world who share the same fascination with light, gardens, and color. Drawing on exceptional loans from the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay, the Mus\u00e9e Marmottan, the museums of Dreux and Saint-\u00c9tienne, and the Institut du monde arabe (Claude & France Lemand Donation), the exhibition creates a dialogue between Monet and those who claim him as an influence: the Algerian Abdallah Benanteur, the Japanese Reiji Hiramatsu, the Canadian Jean-Paul Riopelle, and the photographers Jean Gaumy, Bernard Plossu, and Jorma Puranen.<\/p>\n Claude Lemand <\/b>:<\/p>\n Benanteur, The Chosen <\/em>cycle<\/b>. The \u00c9lus<\/i> (The Chosen) cycle represents a pinnacle of Benanteur\u2019s career, the finest “Monument to the Fallen for Algerian Independence and the End of Colonialism,” and a hymn of hope that the Life instincts of fragile Humanity will prevail over Death instincts, finally ushering in the long-awaited universal peace and brotherhood of a planetary Garden of Eden. Visitors will be able to make a pilgrimage to view the work in the Salle des \u00c9lus<\/i>, a room dedicated to it within the Institut du monde arabe museum\u2019s new exhibition layout, as a place of memory, reflection, contemplation, and aesthetic appreciation.<\/p>\n
