The exhibition Dana Schutz, Le monde visible ("Dana Schutz: The Visible World") will be held from 6 october 2023 to the 11 february 2024 at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris. It is the first time that the work of this internationally renowned American artist has been shown in France on this scale.
Dana Schutz, Le monde visible presents around forty paintings made over the last twenty years, around twenty drawings and etchings, and six sculptures, including several that have never been shown in public before.
Dana Schutz is a storyteller, who paints the bonds that unite us, and the barriers that separate us. A virtuoso of colour, she has established a great narrative power over the years, and a flair for dramatic tension revealed in her complex compositions, often very large formats. There are also touches of humour in her painting, which is deeply rooted in art historical traditions. Through these representations of the irrepresentable, she evokes the obsolescence of a sick world, the conceit of contemporary mythologies, and above all communication failure between beings.
