Splendours and Miseries. Pictures of Prostitution in France

Event Description

From Manet’s Olympia to Degas’s Absinthe, from Toulouse-Lautrec and Munch’s forays into brothels, this is the first major exhibition on the subject of prostitution.

The exhibit attempts to retrace the way French and foreign artists, fascinated by the people and places involved, have constantly sought to find new pictorial resources for depicting the realities and fantasies it implied.
