Dans L'appartement De Léonce Rosenberg 75 Rue De Longchamp

Exhibition at the Musée Picasso, Paris, 30 January - 19 May 2024

The elder brother of Paul, a brilliant art dealer who fled to the United States in 1940 to escape the Nazis, Léonce Rosenberg remains less well known than his brother, one of the discoverers of Picasso, Matisse and Braque. A promoter of cubism and abstract painting in the early 20th century, Rosenberg transformed his flat in the 16th arrondissement of Paris into a "total work of art": works of art in every room, from the living room to the smoking room, not forgetting his wife's boudoir and his daughters' bedrooms. One artist per room, Georges Braque, Francis Picabia, Fernand Léger...

This exhibition catalogue seeks to reconstruct Léon Rosenberg's flat as visitors saw it between the wars, thanks to a quarter of the works that have been brought together. In the form of an evocation of a vanished décor, it sheds light on an original and little-known pictorial ensemble, designed by major artists of the period.
