“Chère Melpomène,
We call to you, the ancient muse of tragedy, who once reigned at the back of the Palais des Beaux-Arts. Once a towering statue, several meters high, you have now become a ruin. From the residue of your dust, we seel to transcend the archetype of the muse and evoke a fresh, nuanced breath, able to seep into the interstices of established orders. In between inspiration and expiration, between what is spoken and what remains silent, this breath embodies our deepest desire for social justice.”
Chère Melpomène is a call to subvert classical myths in order to convey other stories that are closer to our daily lives. The exhibition invites us to listen, feel, and breathe together in a poetic exploration of what binds us.
Drawing inspiration from the methodology of artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha (1951–1982) in her work Dictée (1982) - where the nine muses of Greco-Roman antiquity are reimagined to honor female martyrs who sought emancipation - the exhibition sublimates reality by rerouting the figure of Melpomène. What relationships should we cultivate among the inhabitants of the earth - beyond species, and between animate and inanimate beings? Theresa Hak Kyung Cha invites us to prioritize our senses, intuition, and pay attention to our surroundings in order to reconnect with the multiple breaths of life and reignite our commoning energy.
The exhibition invites us to navigate our intimate tragedies and the stories we can tell about them. It offers an incantation to summon spiritual and political alliances, to infuse our struggles with magic, expand our imagination, and nurture hope. The pieces in this exhibition embody acts of resistance and solidarity, sharing speculative cosmogonies that translate the plurality of memories that shape our contemporary society and cultivate our interdependence while honoring our individual differences.
Chère Melpomène intertwines a hundred works from the collections, students and international artists, presenting a transhistorical display from the late 17th century to today. Most have never been exhibited—recently acquired by the School or newly created for the exhibition—while others have yet to circulate in institutional spaces.
European Museum Night : Saturday, May 17, 2025, the exhibition will be open free of charge from 7pm to midnight.

In partnership with PhotoSaintGermain, the Beaux-Arts de Paris and the École nationale supérieure de la photographie in Arles have joined forces to organise an exhibition entitled Situations de l'image, presented in different areas of the Beaux-Arts de Paris.
The aim of the exhibition is to show the diversity of photographic writing in today's image community: from the image in the field of enlarged practices that are increasingly pushing back the boundaries of the frame to the photographic act itself, which is situated and intimately linked to the position of its author, dragging with it a host of social, intimate and political questions.
The exhibition provides an overview of photographic approaches as practised at the Beaux-Arts de Paris and the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles.
Artists from the Beaux-Arts de Paris: Zoé Bernardi, Léonard Berthou, Léa Farant, Tessa Larcher Coadou, Ugo Casubolo Ferro, Jule Heinzelmann, Jinyong Lian, Winca Mendy, Océane Pilastre, Joseph Rozé, Ayako Sakuragi, Anne Shitrit, Yuquan Liu, Hanna Zubkova.

From David to Delacroix, Cézanne to Matisse, Ellsworth Kelly to Gina Pane and Hélène Delprat, Souvenirs de jeunesse is a journey back in time over two centuries, from 1780 to 1980, during which the Beaux-Arts de Paris welcomed tens of thousands of aspiring artists.
Through more than 260 works and documents, the exhibition adopts the point of view of youth, that of young men and women on the threshold of their artistic vocation.
Souvenirs de jeunesse examines history in the present, with contributions from artist Franck Leibovici and eight students from the Beaux-Arts de Paris, who were struck by the enduring feelings that enter the world of art: joy, competitiveness, uncertainty and solidarity.
The exhibition will be closed to the public on Wednesday, December 25, 2024 and January 1, 2025.

Guided tours organized in partnership with the École du Louvre take place every Saturday from 3:30pm to 5pm.

The Académie des Beaux-Arts will be paying tribute to the graphic work of Leonardo Cremonini, a foreign associate member of the Académie (1925-2010), in an exhibition to be held from 5 April to 29 May 2024 at the Pavillon Comtesse de Caen in partnership with the Beaux-Arts de Paris.
Thanks to donations orchestrated between 2022 and 2024 by Pietro Cremonini, the artist's son, the Beaux-Arts de Paris now own the complete collection of prints by Leonardo Cremonini, a major artist of the second half of the 20th century and head of the painting studio at the École des Beaux-Arts from 1983 to 1992. This unique collection is one of a kind in French and European public collections: in all, some two hundred items covering the one hundred and sixty editions produced by the artist between 1966 and 2009, plus around thirty state proofs which, in addition to their intrinsic beauty, are demonstrative of his way of working.
Although Leonardo Cremonini tried his hand at etching during his studies, it was as a mature and accomplished painter that he returned to printmaking in 1966. From working blindly on the matrix to passing through the press, printmaking was more than a metaphor for his approach as a painter; it enabled him to experience his creative process as an artist in a different way: he surrendered himself fully to this art of the "second time", in which chance and revelation, recurrence and infinity preside, as they do in the creation of his paintings.
Leonardo Cremonini (Bologna, 1925 - Paris, 2010) trained at the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts, then at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. His career as a painter then took him to Paris, where he lived for most of his life, alternating with stays in his studios in Bertinoro, Panarea, Trouville and Florence.
He is associated with painters such as Francis Bacon, Balthus, Roberto Matta, Karl Plattner and Zao Wou-Ki, as well as literary figures who have written extensively about his paintings, including Louis Althusser, Michel Butor, Dino Buzzati, Italo Calvino, Régis Debray, Umberto Eco and Alberto Moravia.
His work has been shown in a number of venues at the heart of the artistic effervescence of his time: Catherine Viviano Gallery in New York, Erica Brausen's Hanover Gallery in London, Max Clarac-Sérou's Galerie du Dragon and Galerie Claude Bernard in Paris. Several retrospectives have been devoted to his work, in museums in Brussels, Basel, Paris, Prague, Tokyo and Milan.
His works are held in some forty museums in Europe and the United States.
"I don't have a message to deliver", said Leonardo Cremonini. His attention was above all focused on the enigma of bodies, places and light. In 2001, he was elected a foreign associate member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts.
Curated by
Anne-Marie Garcia, Honorary Curator General of Heritage, in charge of prints and photography at the Beaux-Arts de Paris from 2015 to 2023.
Anne-Marie Garcia has a doctorate in literature and is an honorary curator of cultural heritage. From 2015 to February 2023 she was in charge of the collections at the Beaux-Arts de Paris. Among the exhibitions she has curated or co-curated are Les Affiches de mai 68, Dieux et Mortels, L'École de la liberté, être artiste à Paris 1648-1817, Charles Garnier un architecte pour un empire, L'Arbre et le photographe, Mark Dion - ExtraNaturel, Images en lutte and Gribouillage, de Léonard de Vinci à Cy Twombly, to name but a few. She is also the author of a book devoted to the place of photography in the collections of the Beaux-Arts, La photographie avec les arts.
Catalogue
To coincide with this exhibition, the first book devoted to the prints of Leonardo Cremonini has been published by Beaux-Arts de Paris éditions with the support of the Académie des beaux-arts.

Students and curators in the "Artists & Exhibition Professions" program present autohistorias, a group exhibition inspired by Gloria Anzaldúa, Chicana feminist theorist, activist and poet. In an unpublished text, she proposes writing as a way of defining oneself through theory, fiction, mythologies, linguistic games and poetry. Through individual stories and fiction, it's a question of constructing a collective narrative, thought of as an alternative tool to dominant narratives.
"If I don't have access to the truth, I'll invent it, I'll tell myself, preferring my fictions to the lies and truths that others fabricate for me, about me". (Gloria Anzaldúa, Ethnic Autohistorias-teorías: Writing the History of the Subject).
In 1989, Gloria Anzaldúa wrote a formally inventive text that oscillates between poetry, personal narrative, historical commentary and politics. The essay is a toolbox. Anzaldúa encourages an active subjectivity and invites us to seize our intimate stories and fiction to shape our collective narratives.
Driven by this spirit, autohistorias brings together a group of artists who - from the 15th to the 21st century - have used the self as a way of telling history, shaping political allegory and using narrative as a means of emancipation.
autohistorias presents a group of auto-fabulists, chimeras, beautiful liars, chingadas and bad girls who traverse complexity with literary flair, aesthetic clarity and performative memory. Fiction, autobiography and speculation become the tools for composing a collective narrative and memory; an individuality that is guided not by absolutes but by ambiguities.
The exhibition brings together works by student artists and from the heritage collections of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, as well as those of guest artists. Self-portraits, hybrid collages, invented languages, parallel worlds - made up of personal histories and intimate archives - are presented. autohistorias composes a common space-time born of intersubjectivity, enunciation and listening. Thursday evenings will feature an artistic program, details to follow on beauxartsparis.fr.
Les Beaux-Arts de Paris is a partner of Paris Gallery Weekend, an event organised by the Comité professionnel des Galeries d'art, inviting the public from 24 to 26 May to 3 days of free, open-access exhibitions, meetings and events in 101 Parisian galleries. The autohistorias exhibition is part of the VIP programme of Paris Gallery Weekend.

La Villette is inviting young artists to take over the Grande Halle and the park as part of the 6th edition of the 100% festival. In collaboration with internationally renowned French schools, 100% L'EXPO presents a selection of recently graduated talent. Whether in the plastic and digital arts, film, design, fashion design or photography, the exhibition offers a wide range of practices and aims to shed light on the issues involved in starting a career. The weekends will feature meetings, performances and clubbing.
What drives artists when they leave school? Do artists born in the 3rd millennium see their role in society differently? What are the challenges facing artists at the start of their careers? These are just some of the questions raised by the exhibition.
From 27 March to 28 April, 100% L'EXPO welcomes two new schools, the Beaux-Arts Nantes Saint-Nazaire and the Ecole nationale supérieure d'Arts de Paris-Cergy, joining the Beaux-Arts de Paris, the École des Arts Décoratifs, the Beaux-Arts de Marseille - INSEAMM and the Villa Arson.
La Villette is also collaborating with the Fondation Culture & Diversité on this occasion.
Artists from the Beaux-Arts de Paris: Solveig Burkhard, Marion Chaillou, Louise-Margot Décombas, Côme Ferrasse, Maïa Lacoustille, Elise Nguyen Quoc, Lyz Parayzo, Sofia Salazar Rosales.

"Tiepolo & Cie, une famille en or" Connaissance des arts
"An exceptional collection of drawings and etchings celebrating the artistic genius of 18th-century Venice" Sortir à Paris
This exceptional exhibition brings together drawings and etchings by Giambattista Tiepolo and his two sons, Giandomenico and Lorenzo Tiepolo, a family of virtuoso artists in 18th-century Venice.
The Beaux-Arts de Paris owns a remarkable collection of ten works by Giambattista Tiepolo (1696-1770), making it the second-largest public collection of the artist's drawings in France. Above all, this collection is the only one in France to include drawings not only by Giambattista, but also by his two painter sons, Giandomenico (1727-1804) and Lorenzo (1736-1776), as well as another of Tiepolo's assistants in the 1730s, Giovanni Raggi. This collection alone provides an overview of graphic practices within the family and the studio.
The study of these sheets and prints, combined with works by other artists - sources of inspiration such as Rembrandt, masters such as Piazzetta, and contemporaries such as Canaletto, Guardi and Novelli - highlights the great modernity of their art. This is particularly evident in their ability to produce variations on the same theme, both in traditional religious and mythological subjects and in figure studies, particularly caricatures, as well as scenes from Venetian life. The exhibition also explores the relationship between the father and his sons, and the work within a family of artists.
The tour begins with a series of studies of heads and faces that raise the question of training in the Tiepolo studio. It then moves on to religious paintings and large-scale secular decors produced by the Tiepolos and their contemporaries in Venice, followed by autonomous graphic works conceived outside of any painted project, as pure graphic exercises or pleasures, based on iconographic themes repeated almost obsessively, in multiple variants.
It is the exceptional inventiveness of Giambattista and Giandomenico Tiepolo, one of the most fascinating facets of their artistic personalities, that these drawings and prints allow us to rediscover.
Curated by Hélène Gasnault, curator of drawings at Beaux-Arts de Paris, and Giulia Longo, curator of engravings and photos at Beaux-Arts de Paris.

Des lignes de désir presents the twenty-eight artists who graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris with a Diplôme National Supérieur d'Arts Plastiques and a Congratulations from the Jury in 2023.
The exhibition, curated by Emilie Villez, reflects the diversity of the artistic proposals that have emerged from the School. Paintings, sculptures, installations and videos coexist with performance and publishing practices, presented through a weekly programme.
Lines of desire, also known as paths of free will, are gentle challenges to the system, traced out in the landscape by the erosion of humans or animals as they walk. Criticism of the excesses of modernity is a subtext for the artists presented.
Getting off the beaten track, while finding one's place in the art ecosystem: the aim of the exhibition is above all to present the public with a panorama of contemporary artistic practices, opening up avenues of resonance and reflection on art and the world today.
Events will be held every week, with details of the programme to follow on beauxartsparis.fr.
To coincide with the opening on 23 January, Rose Bourdon will be presenting an inaugural performance: DIPLÔMÉ.ES is a collective play in which five École Centrale Paris students play the first-person roles of alumni whose lives and testimonies have been collected during telephone calls over the past few months. The actors each wear an 'alloro trionfale' laurel wreath that distinguishes them from the rest of the audience, a popular symbol of the graduation rite. The testimonies are documented and archived in an edition produced by Margot Bernard.
A publication accompanies the exhibition.
