Yves Saint Laurent at museums from January 29 to May 15, 2022<

In six Parisian museums: the Center Pompidou, the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, the Louvre Museum, the Musée d'Orsay, the Picasso-Paris National Museum and the Yves Saint Laurent Museum Paris.

Sensitive to correspondence between the arts, Yves Saint Laurent continues to juggle between rhythms and colors, lights and materials, like the dialogues stated at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris which alternates monumental rooms and more intimate sequences.

The course that takes shape within the permanent collections makes it possible to show-with tributes paid to Matisse, Bonnard and other artists still-like Yves Saint Laurent has the genius to go from the plan to the volume, from the aesthetics of the surface areato the aesthetics of the body.He does not copy.He does not transpose a paint on a dress.It is now integrated, it structures the garment.It is not illustration but construction.

Within the gallery of Apollo, one of the most prestigious spaces of the palace, a selection of exceptional clothes is presented, highlighting the richness of the sources of inspiration by Yves Saint Laurent and valuing the know-how of artisansFrench.

In love with embroidery, Yves Saint Laurent has the audacity to translate the big stucco sets on jackets, each transforming it into art objects.

He also manages to charge these models of cultural, symbolic and historical values by evoking, thanks to different borrowings, the beliefs and the forms of the past.Ancient marbles, enamels, mirrors, cameras, ivories and collection of gems of Louis XIV (hard stones with goldsmith frames) are in turn mentioned and/or metamorphosed by the designer.

In love with literature, Yves Saint Laurent is passionate very young for Proust from which he reads and rereads research without succeeding in completing it.He is inhabited by this author, by his work, by his writing.It goes without saying that this Proustian passion crystallizes in its work in different forms."Like Proust, I am especially fascinated by my own perceptions of a world in transition," he said.This passion is honored at the Musée d'Orsay by evoking the Proust ball given by the Baron and the Baroness Guy de Rothschild in 1971 at the Château de Ferrières.

Fascinated by Picasso's work, Yves Saint Laurent pays tribute to him at different times in his career."I saw at the national exhibition of the ballet models of _diacyilev_.(…).From this moment, my collection was built as a ballet. J’ai brodé sur Picasso(…) sur les arlequins la période bleue, la Rose, celle du Tricorne…»».

The collection known as Picasso and Diaghilev was drawn by Yves Saint Laurent in 1979, three months before the extraordinary exhibition which celebrated the Picasso dation, itself at the origin of the eponymous museum.

To create his collections, Yves Saint Laurent draws a lot.His drawings are the creative impulse of all the workshops of the house which, at each stage, transpose and shape the lines imagined by Yves Saint Laurent.The whole house contributes to the metamorphoses wanted by the designer."It's my house, it's a great joy to have as much love as it is wearing.I'm talking about workers, the first, the whole house is a house based on love.»»

Thus, the exhibition of the Yves Saint Laurent museum celebrates creation in the future.It evokes the way of doing and seeing designer but also the mastery of the various workshops.It’s a portrait of the fashion house.
