The legend of sleep has been included in the narratives of people at the beginning of biblical times: Adam was asleep during the creation of Eve, Noah was paralyzed by insomnia, the apostles experienced the tragedy of the olives. These episodes are all referred to the exhibition “l’mpire du sommeil” (or “the kingdom of sleep”), if you see Monet at the Musmee Marmontan in Paris until March 1, from showing the stages of life, from the repetition of newborns. Monet painted both endings – his son Jean covers a doll (1868) and his sick wife Camille calls for a white veil (1879) when she is suffering in her bed.

The text of the show reminds viewers that sleep takes up a third of our lives; Given this important use of hours, it is worth pondering and reading. : My year of rest and relaxation.) Laura Bossian, historian of science and historian who was assisted alongside the museum’s director of collections, Sylvie Carlier, and Curatorial Assistant Anne-Sophie Luyton. Bossi said: “The sleeping model is a very good model.

In keeping with the focus of the museum’s collections, this exhibition, which includes 130 works, expands on the illumination of a painting book on fire as a written book. The wide Sargasso sea. It was prepared for his family back with a bright veranda overlooking the cool blue waters of Portugal, which preceded the high pressure of the family in England. Towards the end of the exhibition, Kiki Smith’s 2001 Work Walker WalkerThe woman was drawn to a Nepalese paper, including a section written on the bottom edge: “She thought that if she could finally make sense of her peace she would wake up.”

The show otherwise sticks pretty much to work from the 19th century. Its main bedroom paintings include Michael Ancher This siestaits subject is a woman resting alfresco on a green garden bench, hanging toe-to-toe with Jean-Baptiste’s young man holding a tree. Perhaps none are as plakad as the two paintings of pets – an etching of an amused dog by David Hockeney and a pencil drawing of a comatose cat by Gwen John.

A lovely addition: John Everett Milais’s painting of a little girl left in a pattern during a sermon, her head topped with a Prip Red Cape and her fuff. Max Beckmann’s 1918 etching of him and his friends standing up, their mouths open and their hands barely showing the chasm of their veins, is very funny. Lithograph of Louis-Léopold Boilly’s Liilly This sonzo de tartini It shows Giuseppe Tartini Making a deal with the horned and double-edged Devil – he was attacked near his bed while he was imprisoned, in the white night – to help his good appearance (The Devil’s Sonata).

These physical moments, however, are removed by activities that show the type of feverish limba. between This is revealedan 1865 oil painting by courbet, a portrait of a young woman on the threshold of a coup d’état. Oil painting This is a nightshade By Edvard Munch, it is a self-portrait in which the artist’s eyes are sunken and the concave shape is similar to the cone, showing the artist’s mental health problems as well. Terrified women climb the Fin-de-epium opium den in a painting by Gaetano Privicaria that highlights the dangers inherent in the accompanying acxists.

More disturbing is the paint that shows sleep as a form of despair. Fernand Pelez’s painting places a child selling violets on the street, because of a body that is too tired to support itself in its sales and the artist’s few drinks in this exhibition that looks at poverty and oppression. Edouard Vuillard’s LA BERCRESEonce in Picasso’s collection, it is not of a woman cradling her child, as the subject may indicate its observation in a lullaby or a strange movement. Instead, it is an elderly mother comforting her eldest daughter in her bed – it seemed innocent with chagrin – who left her child in a broken womb.

The extremes are still unpleasant images of death, perceived as “eternal sleep,” can be the eternal Eerie image of the dead French writer Victor Hugo (closed eyes and Ton’s chestête de jeeune Fille Morte (his lips with breathing, breathing agog), or fardinand hodler’s Model-Darentine Godler – Darel fainted with visible pain due to cancer (pain artist inclined to interfere with a series of 120 thousand).

Such a bad angle in the show is a dream show – a great decoration for the hosts. “Dreams are actually the fabric – the construction – of our creativity,” Bossi said. In the 19th century, the scientific study of lucid dreams by the works of the French scientist and physician Alfred Maury (1861) and the Marquis d’Helvevey de Saint Denys (1867), the latter influencing Freud Interpretation of dreamspublished in the year 1899. And during the 19th century, Jean-Martin Charcot tested hypnosis called “Hysterics” at the Salpêtrière Hospital. For all these workers, whose books are shown in this exhibition, dreams are considered to be fakes of the past rather than the realization of the future: The reflection of the inner life is buried under the surface.

This show is very disturbing in its eros section, where the erotic view – including Greek mythology – avoids to glorify the violence reserved for women. Some works are difficult to appeal: Ditlev Blunck’s Slap in the night From 1846 it shows a bed in bed, his chest exposed, his other expression of ecstasy, with a rabbit on his torso and the fabric of his canopy bed. Is this a sly, funny way to lower a woman’s happiness? Or do you get knocked down and knocked down by the male gaze? Legends love Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella they were referred again but they were not named as having been referred back because of their nature of being homeless.

The emergence of the final groups represents the bed itself – the place of purposeful birth, love, illness and death – and the locus of intimacy and devotion. A graphite-and-watercolor work of valacroix’s unaltered bed in 1824 was posted on the cover of the exhibition’s catalog, doubling the reading of the drapery but also “evoking something anxious” about relaxation. By contrast, Avigdor Arikha’s Astel by Avigdor Arikha’s Bend Empty is a testament to a “successful marriage,” Bossi said, noting that the pairs of slippers are aligned in a practical way.

It is appropriate that the beginning and end of intercourse, the show cycle and the sleep cycle are one.
