We invite you to immerse yourself in the Musée Zadkine, a conservatory inaugurated in 1982 and dedicated to the work and memory ofOssip Zadkine. The unique ambience of this museum-workshop will captivate you with its original identity: a place for living and creating, it is a living testimony to the Montparnasse of artists. Strolling through Zadkine's workspaces, one feels the presence of the artist and his wife, painter Valentine Prax.
On the occasion of the museum's thirtieth anniversary, after a year of renovation work, the museum has reaffirmed its identity, offering :
It was the wish ofOssip Zadkine, a major figure of the École de Paris, to open his studio to the general public. This wish became a reality in 1982 with the bequest of Valentine Prax, offering drawings, photos, tapestries and sculptures. Walking through this green setting, between the Jardin du Luxembourg and Montparnasse, we discover a museum that aims to recreate the spirit of the artist's studio, one of the few remaining testimonies of this period.
Zadkine's works, displayed in daylight, are arranged by material, inviting visitors to engage in a conversation between sculptures in plaster, clay, wood and stone. They reveal the stylistic evolution of this unclassifiable artist, testifying to the richness of his oeuvre.
