Morisot/Pétrovitch, Soleil

Since 2019, the museum Marmottan Monet in Paris has invited a contemporary artist to come and dialogue with its collection. For the ninth edition of these “Unexpected Dialogues”, it has chosen to invite Françoise Pétrovitch, a major artist on the French and international art scene, to discuss with the Impressionist painter Berthe Morisot.

In this “Unexpected Dialogue”, called Soleil and presented from April 9th to September 14th, 2025, she has chosen another woman artist, Berthe Morisot, with whom she shares the themes of portraiture, childhood, adolescence and intimacy. Here, the parallel between Morisot’s Roses trémières and Pétrovitch’s Soleils highlights another bridge between the two painters: the very embodied, interior relationship with nature.
