Petit Palais Musée des Beaux-Arts de la ville de ParisParis 1900, The City of Entertainment
The exhibition Paris 1900, The City of Entertainment is an invitation to the public to relive the splendour of the French capital at the time when the Paris Exposition Universelle was heralding the arrival of the 20th century. More than ever before, Paris was seen throughout the world as a sparkling city of luxury with a sophisticated way of life. Over 600 works will plunge visitors to the Petit Palais into the atmosphere of Belle Epoque Paris. There will be paintings, objets d'art, costumes, posters, photographs, films, furniture, jewellery and sculptures. The technical inventions, the cultural effervescence, and the sheer elegance of Parisian women will be staged and displayed as representative legends of that Paris whose image has been promoted in literature and the cinema throughout the world. The visitors can discover in this exhibition two important works of George Desvallières : En soirée, portrait de Madame Pascal Blanchard in the fashion pavilion and L'Orgie in the fine arts pavilion.
