RENOIR DRAWER Exhibition — Paris
For the first time, the Musée d'Orsay is dedicating a major exhibition to the drawings of Pierre-Auguste Renoir . Often overshadowed by his famous Impressionist paintings, his graphic works—sketches, studies, pastels, watercolors, and red chalks—yet reveal the importance of drawing in the evolution of his art.
Through around a hundred pieces from around the world , including several previously unseen , the public is invited to delve into the heart of the artist's creative process, to discover his research on light, form and color, as well as his ease in various techniques.
Co-organized with the Morgan Library & Museum , this exhibition offers a new reading of Renoir: that of a virtuoso draftsman and a creator with unsuspected graphic freedom.
Particular attention is paid to the sanguine technique, which Renoir favored from the 1880s onwards for its flexibility, thickness and resonance with the representation of the chair and the nude. Admired by his contemporaries, these works fascinated Bonnard and Picasso in particular.

Luxembourg Fine Arts Fair — Mondorf-les-Bains
This international fair allows established professional and amateur artists—painters, sculptors, photographers, digital creators—to present their work in a committed and high-quality atmosphere. Organized by the Société des Beaux-Arts de Lorraine , it places artistic visibility at the heart of its concerns, limiting the number of exhibitors to guarantee each a notable presentation space.
