基本説明
Icons of Modern Art. Gauguin, Van Gogh, Redon, Cézanne, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Renoir, Morisot, Matisse, Van Dongen... In line with its series of exhibitions devoted to the great collectors who shaped the history of modern art, the Fondation Louis Vuitton is now paying tribute to a little-known yet visionary character : Gustave Fayet (1865-1925). Featuring over 300 works and documents, this volume reveals, for the first time, the outstanding collection of a man who was among the initial admirers in France of Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, and Odilon Redon. Original research has yielded this catalogue, which enables readers to discover masterpieces, once part of an almost forgotten collection, dispersed nearly a century ago. It traces Fayet's extraordinary career as a major promoter of modernism in the early 20th century. Fayet was not just a bold collector but also a prolific artist in fields as varied as painting, ceramics, decorative arts, textiles, and illustration. This is explored in Gustave Fayet Designer, the companion volume to this catalogue.
Full Description
This is the exhibition catalogue of the Fondation Louis Vuitton's exhibition starting September 2026 dedicated to Gustave Fayet as an artist and a collector. This book focuses on his collection: he bought works to resell them at a profit, allowing him to acquire new, even more remarkable pieces. His collection included over 200 works by Gauguin and the 'Gauguin Room' in his Parisian apartment was legendary among the Parisian elite of the time. He was also a very close friend of Odilon Redon, and he acquired works by famous artists such as Matisse, Bonnard, Degas, Monet, Matisse, Renoir, Cézanne, Rodin and Van Gogh among others. Following his death in 1925, the collection was sold by his family. However, these works can now be found in the world's most prestigious museums, and are reunited during the exhibition.
