Maurice DenisBonheur rêvé

This richly illustrated catalogue offers an opportunity to plunge into the heart of the artist’s home, to discover the masterpieces that were painted there and to meet the “Nabi of the beautiful icons”: a man who sought to reconcile decorative ambition with the need for a constantly renewed content, linked to his Catholic faith, to the description of modern life or to a very personal iconography.
This book thus provides a wonderful introduction to an indispensable painter and accompanies a triple anniversary: the 40th anniversary of the Musée départemental Maurice Denis, the reopening of this museum after 2 years of work and the 150th birthday of the painter!
