Les Nabis-1

This exhibition is the first in France dedicated to the decorative and ornamental art of the Nabis.

However, this was an essential domain for these artists, who sought to break down the barrier between fine arts and applied arts. The exhibition features a representative selection of their works, distinguished by simplified forms, flowing lines, and patterns without modeling, influenced by Japanese art. Bringing together approximately one hundred paintings, drawings, prints, and art objects, it serves to showcase decorative ensembles that are now dispersed.
