The Pompidou Centre will be presenting France’s first retrospective in more than 50 years of work by the Hungarian painter Victor Vasarely, who is widely known as the father of OpArt. Comprising paintings, multiples, advertising posters and architectural designs, the display presents Vasarely’s multi-faceted output in chronological order, from his time as a student at a Bauhaus-influenced school to the highly innovative work of his late period, in which he explored the fourth dimension.

The Grand Palais is putting the work of Czech painter Frantisek Kupka in the spotlight, with an unprecedented gathering of his studies of movement and light. After exploring Symbolism and Futurism, the artist began to dispense with reality, joining other early 20th-century exponents of abstract art such as Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, Robert Delaunay, Francis Picabia and Fernand Léger. The Grand Palais is displaying some of Kupka’s most arresting works in this absorbing overview of his gradual shift towards the abstract. A major exhibition: not to be missed!

The Musée Marmottan Monet reconstitutes the remarkable art collection of Claude Monet. ‘Monet collectionneur’ lifts the veil on this little-known passion of the French painter and brings together hundreds of paintings, drawings and sculptures from the world’s biggest museums and from private collections. The opportunity to see works by Delacroix, Corot, Manet, Renoir, Caillebotte, Cézanne and Pissarro!
