Musée Marmottan Monet

Histories of landscapes

From Monet to Hockney (1890-2026)

Curator: Pierre Wat

The Musée Marmottan Monet and the Musée de Grenoble are jointly presenting an exceptional exhibition devoted to landscape painting from 1890 to the present day. Entitled Histories of Landscape: From Monet to Hockney (1890–2026), it will be on view in Paris from 24 September 2026 to 31 January 2027, then in Grenoble from 5 March to 4 July 2027. Curated by Pierre Wat, professor at Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne University and is director of the HiCSA research centre, the exhibition will trace the evolution of landscape painting from its nineteenth-century triumph through to its contemporary reinventions. Although the genre appeared to recede in the twentieth century in the face of ideological and historical upheavals, landscape persisted, transformed itself and remained a major force in artistic creation. As part of the commemorations marking the centenary of Monet’s death, the event will highlight a dialogue between Monet’s work and that twentieth- and twenty-first-century artists. Curated by Pierre Wat, lecturer in history and civilisations at Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne University and director of the HiCSA research centre. Musée Marmottan Monet
