"La Figuration dans tous ses états"
Yves Klein, L’Esclave mourant d’après Michel-Ange, 1962
For centuries, pictorial and sculptural representations have fascinated mankind. However, at the beginning of the 20th century, with the arrival of abstraction and the liberation of painting from all constraints of figuration, figurative painting became a difficult term. Modern art and abstract art became synonymous at this time. Had figuration become a vestige, a survivor from another world? Its persistence within the avant-garde movements shows that abstraction was not the only path taken by artists to renew the language of art. “La Figuration dans tous ses états” follows on from the exhibition “L’Abstraction dans tous ses états” held by the gallery in 2018, a way of showing the public the other path of plastic modernity.
Group show of Eduardo Arroyo (1937-2018), César (1921-1998), Gaston Chaissac (1910-1964), Paul Delvaux (1897-1994), Leonor Fini (1908-1996), Gen Paul (1895-1975), Henri Hayden (1883-1970), Auguste Herbin (1882-1960), Marcel Janco (1895-1984), Paul Klee (1879-1940), Yves Klein (1928-1962), Jean Lacombe (1868-1916), Fernand Léger (1881-1955), Eugène Leroy (1910-2000), Aristide Maillol (1861-1944), André Masson (1896-1987), Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920), Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), Paul Elie Ranson (1861-1909), Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), Ker-Xavier Roussel (1867-1944), Niki de Saint-Phalle (1930-2002), Kees Van Dongen (1877-1968)

The gallery
Formed by his uncle Philippe Cazeau, Jean-François Cazeau opened his gallery in September 2009 in the heart of Paris's Marais district, on rue Sainte Anastase, a stone's throw from the Picasso Museum. Jean-François Cazeau offers his clientele his expertise and advice on Impressionist and modern art in keeping with a family tradition, while remaining attentive to the changes of his times.
The gallery's exhibitions often attempt to build bridges between different artistic movements, in all techniques, across the twentieth century. In recent years, the gallery has presented eclectic exhibitions highlighting artists whose place in art history is essential, but who have not yet enjoyed the same visibility as some of their contemporaries. From the geometric abstraction of Auguste Herbin to the first exhibition devoted to Afro Basaldella in France, from the surrealist photography of Pierre Jahan to an exhibition focused on the graphic work of Pablo Picasso, the gallery has organized strong exhibitions, offering its visitors presentations and historical insights that provoke reflexion.
