Les maîtres de la peinture moderne

Henri Manguin

Born in Paris in 1874, Henri Manguin was taught by the Symbolist painter Gustave Moreau at the École des Beaux-arts, where he met Matisse and other future protagonists of Fauvism. With "La Sieste", he participated in the 1905 Salon d'Automne, denigrated as a "Cage aux Fauves" (cage of wild beasts) by the movement's detractors.

Joan Miró

The exhibition of works by the Spanish artist Joan Miró in Paris in 1925 is considered a major event in the Surrealist art movement. Painter, sculptor, engraver and ceramist, fantasist and hyper-creative, he invented his own vocabulary, symbols and writing.
