the Musée du Luxembourg unveils a new exhibition dedicated to the world of Pierre Soulages

From September 17, 2025, the Musée du Luxembourg unveils a new exhibition, “Soulages, une autre lumière”, a rare and fascinating plunge into the world of Outrenoir.

Lumières sur papier: the other side of Soulages

With 130 works on paper, including 25 previously unseen, the Pierre Soulages exhibition reveals a more intimate side of the artist. Brou de noix, ink and gouache compose a sober and powerful language, where each stroke becomes light.
These pieces, more confidential than his monumental canvases, nevertheless capture the same intensity. They prove Soulages’ ability to transform the simplest materials into a total sensory experience. Here, the eye not only contemplates, but enters a universe where black and light engage in infinite dialogue.

A fascinating immersive journey

Conceived as an intimate encounter, the Pierre Soulages exhibition invites us to rediscover an extraordinary master. A new vision that has left its mark on contemporary art. Each work acts as a breath of fresh air, a suspended moment, confirming that Soulages never ceased to innovate.
This unique experience is an artistic journey as elegant as it is moving. The perfect artistic rendez-vous for an elegant interlude in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. A must for any back-to-school cultural agenda.
