Prune Nourry~Visionaries, Petit Palace, Palace celebratng little know women sculptors. October's lecture on the 23rd. from 12:30-1:30. Celebrate women in art ,

VISIONNAIRES, PETIT PALAIS, PARIS © Laurent Edeline, © Éléa-Jeanne Schmitter À l’invitation du Petit Palais, Prune Nourry met en lumière, dans l’exposition « Visionnaires», des sculptrices méconnues ou oubliées. Malgré des contraintes sociales et un accès limité aux formations artistiques, ces pionnières sont parvenues à s’imposer dans un milieu majoritairement masculin. Invited by the Petit Palais, Prune Nourry pays tribute to little-known or forgotten female sculptors in Visionnaires. Despite social constraints and limited access to artistic training, a handful of pioneering women succeeded in making their mark in a predominantly male field. Prune Nourry sculptant dans son atelier / Prune Nourry sculpting in her studio © Éléa Jeanne Schmitter La collection du Petit Palais en témoigne : à peine quatre pour cent des œuvres conservées ont été réalisées par des femmes. De la galerie des sculptures au jardin, les dix-huit portraits créés par Prune Nourry ravivent la mémoire de sculptrices de la fin du XIXe et du début du XXe siècle.  À la demande de l’artiste, trois historiennes de l’art ont rassemblé les écrits et les portraits photographiques de sculptrices ayant vécu ou travaillé à Paris. Parmi elles figurent Sarah Bernhardt, Hélène Bertaux, Selma Hortense Burke, Daria Gamsaragan, Käthe Kollwitz, Jane Poupelet, Nancy Elizabeth Prophet, Consuelo de Saint-Exupéry et Wang Jingyuan. The Petit Palais collection reflects this: barely four percent of its works were created by women. From the sculpture gallery to the garden, the eighteen portraits created by Prune Nourry for the spaces of the Petit Palais bring to life a panoply of female sculptors from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.  At the artist’s request, three art historians collected writings and photographic portraits of female sculptors who lived or worked in Paris at that time, a cosmopolitan artistic capital. These include Sarah Bernhardt, Hélène Bertaux, Selma Hortense Burke, Daria Gamsaragan, Käthe Kollwitz, Nancy Elizabeth Prophet, Consuelo de Saint-Exupéry and Wang Jingyuan. Vue de l'exposition, Petit Palais / Exhibition view, Petit Palais © Laurent Edeline Inspirée par la puissance de leurs créations et la force de leur engagement, Prune Nourry met à l’honneur leur parcours à travers des portraits monumentaux dont le style synthétique affirme une présence forte. En écho à la collection de sculptures du Petit Palais, l’artiste choisit le plâtre pour la réalisation de ces bustes inédits. Chacune des visionnaires possède des yeux en marbre inspirés de la statuaire polychrome du Petit Palais.  Inspired by the power of their creations and the strength of their commitment, Prune Nourry pays tribute to their careers and choices in monumental portraits stripped back to their essentials to let their presence speak for itself.  She chose plaster to echo the Petit Palais sculpture collection, and marble for the eyes, drawing on the museum's polychrome statuary.

Through her works, Prune Nourry seeks to increase the visibility and recognition of women in the history of sculpture.  Conférence inaugurale : 23 octobre 2026, 12h30 - 13h30 Auditorium du Petit Palais En accès libre dans la limite des places disponibles Lien vers les détails Opening Lecture: October 23, 2026, 12:30–1:30 p.m. Petit Palais Auditorium Free admission, subject to availability and capacity Link to the details Informations pratiques Dates : du 20 octobre 2026 au 24 janvier 2027 Lieu : Petit Palais - Musée des Beaux Arts de la Ville de Paris, Avenue Winston-Churchill, 75008, Paris Horaires : du mardi au dimanche, 10h - 18h  #prunenourryparis#fineartmagazineblog.blogspot.com #sunstormfineartmagazine.com#artfunpars#fineartparis#fineartfun#artfunsculptors,
