The Orangerie museum has a vast collection of art. Some of its recent acquisitions include ‘Two letters from Claude Monet’ addressed to Georges Clemenceau, ‘Portrait of Guillaume Apollinaire’ by Marie Laurencin, ‘Still life with fruits’ by Andre Derain, ‘Lega Statuette’ from Paul Guillaume’s collection, ‘Portrait of Paul Guillaume at mid-thigh’ by Amedeo Modigliani. Its collection also includes sculptures from Africa and Oceania from the Paul Guillaume collection, Chromatic Matrices - functional sculptures by Agnes Thurnauer and ‘The Good Bye Door’ designed by Joan Mitchell.
Orangerie Museum was given to the Under-Secretariat of State for Fine Arts by the State to provide living artists with a space to display their works. With Claude Monet painting the ‘Water Lilies’ at that time, Georges Clemenceau, The President of the Council, decided to donate the painting to Orangerie in 1922. Claude Monet also played an instrumental role in the design of the building as he helped with the architectural design with architect Camille Lefevre. His design of two-meter high eight panels in the two oval rooms with skylights ensured that guests observed his paintings in natural light.
Considered one of the finest collections in Europe, the Paul Guilliame and Jean Walter collection brings together an incredible 148 works dating from the 1860s to the 1930s. The collection has numerous examples of Impressionist and Modernist works and a few examples of Africa Art.
Paul Guillaume was a renowned gallerist, collector of artworks, art critic, and autodidact who dabbled in art and poetry. The gallery in Orangerie Museum focuses on the gallerist's life and work, which we rarely hear about. He was also responsible for buying and selling artworks of famous artists of the time.
Claude Monet’s eight compositions of the Water Lilies is world-renowned and is considered an unparalleled achievement of the famed artist. Monet also designed the space in the Orangerie Museum, which consists of two elliptical rooms and gives visitors the illusion of an endless whole.
