Matisse painting at the Orangerie Paul Guillaume collection

The Paul Guillaume rooms compress a century’s modernist energy into intimate galleries. Expect structure (Cézanne), color (Matisse), softness (Renoir), and line (Modigliani).


🧭 Reading the Rooms

  • Start with structure: Cézanne’s planes set visual grammar.
  • Color field: Matisse unlocks chroma confidence.
  • Softness and skin: Renoir negotiates temperature with flesh.
  • Line and elongation: Modigliani’s contour discipline.

  3. Renoir → calibrate softness.
