Artist's Fabric

In 1918, Matisse wore a costume designed by his friend Foujita. The exhibition “The Artist’s Fabric” at the Bourdelle Museum reveals fascinating secrets: the clothes worn by iconic figures of creation, from Klimt to Delaunay. This unique exhibition explores how artists shaped their public image through their clothing and accessories. From Klimt's portraits to Bonheur’s costumes, passing through Delaunay’s bold creations, the museum exhibits an unprecedented collection of personal objects. Family sewing workshops inspired by Foujita’s art are offered to introduce younger audiences to the artistic world. Interactive guided tours, designed for families, will guide you through this captivating exhibition. Participate in a silhouette creation workshop for children aged 7 and over and discover how artists used their appearance to express their vision of the world.
