Driven by their collections, the Hôtel-Dieu Museum in Mantes-la-Jolie and the Gatien-Bonnet Museum in Lagny-sur-Marne are joining forces for an exhibition to highlight two Neo-Impressionist artists, Léo Gausson (1860-1944) and Maximilien Luce (1858-1941). From the youthful encounter between these two artists was born a rich correspondence that spanned several years with passions, interruptions, and enthusiasms. The discovery or rediscovery of this correspondence in the archives of the two museums, combined with a significant presence of their works within the collections, was for the two teams the beginning of exchanges and questions that led to a joint exhibition project in the two emblematic cities of Luce and Gausson. This work aims to explore, show and understand the extraordinary profusion of ideas surrounding the pictorial revolution initiated by Seurat through the prism of this friendship.
