OFFICIAL: " Simone Veil. Mes soeurs et moi plonge au coeur de l’intimité de la fratrie Jacob, dont le destin fut bouleversé par la guerre. On y découvre une Simone Veil souriante et insouciante, loin des représentations figées de la femme d’État. "

" Conçue par David Teboul et inspirée de l’ouvrage et du film éponymes qu’il a réalisés, l’exposition prolonge le travail de l’auteur autour de la mémoire et de la transmission. Elle repose sur des extraits de correspondances, journaux intimes et récits et dévoile des photographies issues des archives des familles Jacob et Vernay. "

" Les trois soeurs Jacob, Madeleine (dite Milou), Denise et Simone grandissent à Nice, dans les années 1920, au sein d’une famille juive française. Leur enfance heureuse est peu à peu bouleversée par les crises économiques et politiques des années 1930, puis par l’Occupation et les persécutions antisémites. "

" Denise s’engage dans la Résistance et sera déportée à Ravensbrück. Simone, Milou, Jean et leur mère Yvonne sont arrêtés. Les trois femmes sont déportées à Auschwitz au printemps 1944. Yvonne meurt à Bergen-Belsen ; Milou revient affaiblie, Simone survit. Leur père André et leur frère Jean, déportés en 1944 par le convoi 73, ne reviendront pas. "

" À travers les écrits et les photographies conservés par la famille, les entretiens réalisés par David Teboul, et les voix des comédiennes Isabelle Huppert, Marina Fois et Dominique Reymond, l’exposition restitue le parcours des sœurs Jacob, de l’insouciance niçoise à la reconstruction d’après-guerre. "

" Ces archives personnelles éclairent l’expérience de la Shoah à travers le regard de jeunes femmes et interrogent la manière dont se tissent mémoire intime et histoire collective. "

" Réalisateur et photographe, David Teboul est l’auteur du documentaire Simone Veil, une histoire française et du livre Simone Veil, Mes sœurs et moi. Son travail explore la mémoire et la transmission à travers des récits personnels. "

DENISE VERNAY (la sœur de Simone Veil, née Denise Jacob) :

" Tout a commencé lorsque Simone me dit un jour : " Mais, au fond, qu'est-ce que tu as fait, dans la Résistance ? " J'ai pensé que vous non plus, vous n'en saviez pas grand-chose, et qu'il était temps pour moi de vous raconter un peu de cette guerre, la vraie guerre, pas la " guerre des étoiles " à laquelle vous assistez aujourd'hui.

" Ma " guerre se déroula entre 1939 et 1945. "

Denise, Paris, 1988

AA: Simone Veil (1927–2017, born Simone Jacob) was a French national heroine. As Minister of Social Affairs, Health and Urban Issues, she championed women's rights and pursued the 1975 law legalising abortion, known as Loi Veil (the Veil Act). In 1979, she became the first woman elected President of the European Parliament. She also served at France's Constitutional Council, the highest legal authority of the country and as president of the Foundation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah. She was a member of the Académie Française, received the grand cross of the Légion d'honneur and was interred at the Panthéon together with her husband Antoine Veil.

The exhibition explores the story of the family Jacob, the happy days of the four siblings, Madeleine (Milou), Denise, Jean and Simone in Nice. The family Jacob was openly Jewish but atheist. They were proud of their identity as the people of the Book. During the Nazi occupation of France, the family stayed in Nice, which became a part of the Italian occupation zone. Gradually the Jacobs had to split up and live under assumed names. Denise joined the armed resistance in Lyon. In 1943, Germany took over the Italian occupation zone. Simone still managed to pass her baccalauréat under her real name in March 1944. The next day, the members of the family Jacob were arrested by the Gestapo. Simone's father and brother were deported to the Baltic states and never seen again. Denise was sent to the Ravensbrück concentration camp. Simone, Madeleine and their mother arrived at Auschwitz from where they were sent on the death march to Bergen-Belsen, after which the mother died but the sisters survived.

The exhibition tells an engrossing story about the twentieth century, a genocide survivor growing up to become a builder of modern France and a reborn Europe. The story of the Occupation and the experience of the concentration camps is horrible, but the most bitter moment for me is the homecoming. People are shocked that the sisters have returned. The remaining family is not warmly welcomed. Simone looks at herself in a broken mirror. 

Under the direction of David Teboul, the balance of the exhibition is dominated by love, not hate. The love, the joy and the happiness of the Jacob family give them the strength, the willpower and the life force to survive. Based on a rich trove of family correspondence, authentic words dominate the experience, much in the voice of Simone Veil, complemented by the actresses Isabelle Huppert, Marina Fois et Dominique Reymond reading the testimonies of Denise and Madeleine.

OFFICIAL: "Artist, feminist and avant-garde environmentalist, woman, mother, migrant, marked by mental illness and spiritual quest, Leonora Carrington left behind a legacy as extraordinary as it is radical."

"Born in 1917 in Lancashire, England, Leonora Carrington forged her identity through travel, both internal and external. From Florence to Paris, from the South of France to Spain, and finally to Mexico, where she became a cult figure, her extraordinary path nourished a body of work at the crossroads of surrealism, mythology, and esotericism."

"This exhibition, bringing together 126 works, is the first major exhibition in France devoted exclusively to Carrington’s work. It presents Carrington as a “Vitruvian Woman”: a total artist representing a model of harmony and innovation. Her creations merge human and animal, masculine and feminine, giving form to a world where metamorphoses and symbols respond to each other."

"Through a chronological and thematic approach, as well as a unique presentation of her diverse visionary creations, the exhibition explores the artist's main themes and interests: her discovery of classical Italian art in Florence during her adolescence, her fascination with the Renaissance, her Celtic and post-Victorian origins, and her involvement in surrealism during her stay in France."

"The exhibition thus highlights the exceptional legacy of this perpetual traveler, always in search of self-knowledge."

AA: The first monograph exhibition of Leonora Carrington in France is a major event. It has been mounted with loving care by the curators Tere Arcq and Carlos Martin at the Musée du Luxembourg.

The journey is chronological and geographical, and it takes us from the milieu of grand bourgeoisie in Lancashire to the circle of the surrealists in London, Saint-Germain-des-Près in Paris and Ardèche in Southern France. During the Nazi Occupation, Carrington escapes to Spain. A gang rape by Franco's soldiers leads her to a psychotic condition. She is confined to a mental hospital in Santander at the request of her parents. In 1942 she moves to Mexico with her husband Renato Leduc. In 1968 she and her sons move to the United States. She becomes a citizen of honour of Mexico City and an Officer of the Order of the British Empire. She is buried in the British cemetery of Mexico City.

But this exhibition is above all an inner journey, starting in the core of surrealism. Two years ago the centenary of surrealism was celebrated, prominently in Brussels in two giant exhibitions: International at the Musées royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique and Belgian at Bozar. In both, a male bias of the movement was evident, especially in the beginning. Female artists like Jane Graverol and Rachel Baes were acknowledged from the 1940s onwards.

The grand Leonora Carrington exhibition is for me a belated third part to the centenary celebration. She draws from her own dream world and is inspired by soulmates from art history including Botticelli and Bosch. She studies the Tibetan Book of the Dead and occult images from the fields of magic and alchemy, constantly expanding her imagination. She also becomes a devoted eco-feminist pioneer.

This is my introduction to Carrington, and I'm impressed by the grand arch of her development, the consistency and willpower in exploring the secret reaches of the imagination, constantly discovering something new while remaining true to herself, the resolve in fighting madness, violence and discrimination. I don't particularly care for the tarot universe. Some of the colour solutions feel forced. Among my favourites is Snake Bike Floripondio (1975, oil on canvas, 59,5 x 80 cm, Colección Pérez Simon), a subtle and haunting dream apparition.  Not all the best works are in the exhibition, for instance The House Opposite (1945, tempera on wood, 82 cm, West Dean College). I look forward to the next Leonora Carrington exhibition to see it and more.

The exhibition catalogue and journal are excellent keepsakes. The introductory texts are superb and the quality of the illustrations is high. After the formidable exhibition full of wild images it is a relief to meditate at the Salon de thé, Mademoiselle Angelina. 

OFFICIAL INTRODUCTION TO THE EXHIBITION CATALOGUE

"Figure majeure de l’art du xxe siècle, Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) a traversé frontières, continents et mouvements artistiques, laissant une œuvre aussi foisonnante qu’insaisissable. Née en Angleterre, formée entre Londres, Florence et Paris, elle rejoint l’avant-garde surréaliste avant de connaître l’exil, de l’Espagne à New York, puis de s’établir définitivement au Mexique, où elle est reconnue aux côtés de Frida Kahlo et de Remedios Varo. Entre mythes fondateurs et récits intimes, Carrington explore la métamorphose, le féminin sacré, la magie, l’alchimie et l’écologie, élaborant une cartographie intérieure nourrie de mythes celtiques, d’ésotérisme européen et de traditions spirituelles du monde entier. Ce catalogue accompagne la première grande rétrospective consacrée à l’artiste en France et offre une traversée sensible et éclairée de son œuvre, guidée par des spécialistes internationaux. Un voyage fascinant au cœur d’une imagination indomptable, libre et visionnaire."
