La Villéon Museum

In 2017, the Emmanuel de La Villéon Museum opened a new display, “A Fresh Perspective”, to celebrate the European Museum Night event.

Emmanuel de la Villéon connects with the landscape, investigating form and experimenting with colour. He constantly reassesses his own work, whether painting in his studio or outdoors. For him, each creation is an experience: he employs his eye and his hand to expressing new feeling. The Musée Emmanuel de la Villéon showcases his works in an unusual way, and offers a fresh approach to a selection of the artist’s works. It provides an opportunity to follow in his footsteps, and view the creative process from a different perspective. The “A Fresh Perspective” exhibition casts aside certain rules of presentation in favour of a sensitive, immediate and participative approach allowing visitors to become fully involved and feel at home in the exhibition space. Visitors are invited to consider a different relationship to the works and to the museum itself, through a space where the paintings are arranged to favour a sensitive and immediate approach.
