Anne
Bourse

Cheffe d'Atelier

Anne Bourse was born in Lyon in 1982. She lives and works in Saint-Denis.

Her work is characterized by swirling lines and letters, reminiscent of cartoonish cartoons or psychedelic frescoes, which invade the surface of books, clothing, and papers of all kinds. Although her practice encompasses various media, including painting, drawing, and textile and textual productions, it is primarily driven by the continuous movement of self-expression.

The teams at Beaux-Arts de Paris were deeply saddened to learn of the sudden death of Sylvain Amic, President of the Musée d'Orsay and Musée de l'Orangerie, on August 31. Sylvain Amic was a passionate professional who believed strongly in the social and democratic role of museums.This is deeply sad news that affects us particularly.

Fourteen student artists from the Fresco & Art in Context program at Beaux-Arts de Paris created works specifically designed for the Trinitaires Church in Metz, drawing inspiration from their discovery of the forests on the outskirts of the city.

It is with sadness and emotion that we learned of the passing of Alain Bonfand.

Born in 1957, Alain Bonfand taught art history and theory at Beaux-Arts de Paris for over thirty years, from 1986 to 2017. He was appointed professor emeritus in 2022.

Wolfgang
Tillmans

Guest professor

Since the beginning of his career, Wolfgang Tillmans has questioned the possibility of producing images and has infused photography with a new subjectivity. He explores traditional genres such as portraiture, still life, and landscape with a constant interest in the limits of the visible. Issues of existing values and hierarchies are thus raised through a play of associations combining intimacy and social criticism.

The exhibition will close exceptionally at 5 p.m. on Saturday 31 January.

“The exhibition highlights the two major artists invited to France by Francis I - the Florentine Rosso and the Bolognese Primatice - but differs from exhibitions devoted to their drawings or to the Fontainebleau worksite in its focus on the engravers who were associated with them on site, and who were not only skilful interpreters of the compositions of these two masters, but also inventors of forms and experimenters with the new etching technique, which they profoundly renewed.”
Éric de Chassey, Director, Beaux-Arts de Paris

It is with great sadness and emotion that we learned of the passing of Jean-François Debord.

Born in Évreux in 1938, Jean-François Debord taught at Beaux-Arts de Paris from 1969, as assistant to Professor Pol Le Cœur, before being appointed Professor in charge of the morphology department in 1978, a position he held for 25 years until 2003. An emblematic figure at the school, his teaching has had a lasting impact on generations of students.
