THE EXHIBITIONS
discovering the work of a singular life...

A cosmography and a network of very personal symbols are offered throughout Françoise Cauvin- Monet's work. Faces or bird heads, an eye, an animal, a peacock's tail, flowers, a flutter of wings, are elegantly arranged and entangled within lines or geometric figures, and colors are perfectly used to strike and enchant us. All these signs, codes refer to an unreal, magical, and endless world.

In 2023, the entire artistic universe of the Monet family was revealed at the Musée du Luxembourg. These artists and remarkable personalities were pivotal in the origins of the Impressionist movement, helping to make modern art a possibility. It was the very first time the work of Françoise Cauvin-Monet was exhibited in a public institution.

The space dedicated to Françoise Cauvin at the Luxembourg Museum

The work of Françoise Cauvin embraces the artistic movements of the 20th century. As a descendant of Claude and Léon Monet, she drew inspiration from their work and freedom of thought, while living in her own century and refusing to idealize the past. She led a life that was entirely different from that of her ancestors.

In 2025, exclusive works by the artist will be exhibited at the Musée Marmottan-Monet in Paris (from March 4 to March 27, 2025) and at the Clavé Fine Art gallery (from February 14 to April 5, 2025), as both Françoise Cauvin-Monet’s Self-Portrait and Portrait of Léon Monet by Claude Monet are added to the museum’s collections.
Two places, two selections, and two settings: Françoise Cauvin Monet, La Couleur en Héritage. A series of solemn, funny, touching, surprisingly modern, or dreamlike portraits are about to be showcased. A collection of narrative or figurative abstractions, where color is given pride of place.
