Helene Bailly Gallery presents Moise Kisling

The HELENE BAILLY Gallery is proud to present a monographic exhibition dedicated to Moïse Kisling (1891-1953), a Polish-born painter who became a naturalized French citizen, a singular figure of the School of Paris, celebrated for his mastery of color and his central role in redefining the modern nude. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, Kisling’s early formation reflects a dual lineage: that of the Post-Impressionist masters - Renoir, Cézanne - and that of his teacher Józef Pankiewicz, who encouraged him to move to Paris in 1910. Settling first in Montmartre, then in Montparnasse, he quickly integrated into the cosmopolitan world of the Parisian avant-garde. His friendships with Modigliani, Soutine, and Braque played a formative role in shaping his pictorial language. Fascinated by the female figure, which he treated as a plastic ideal, Kisling developed a distinctive iconography of the frontal portrait and stylized nude, which would become emblematic of his oeuvre. In parallel, his work in still life - particularly in floral compositions - offered a space for chromatic exploration and decorative structure...

ABOUT

Founded by Hélène Bailly Marcilhac in 2007, the gallery has been located at 71 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris since 2015. The HELENE BAILLY Gallery curates four to five thematic exhibitions per year, each conceived as a dialogue between artists, artworks, and techniques. Each of these exhibitions is accompanied by a catalogue that brings together research and essays written by our specialists. We also collaborate in enriching museum collections by selling or lending to institutions such as the Musée d'Orsay, the Fondation de l'Hermitage, the National Gallery of Victoria, the Singer Laren, and the Palazzo Reale. The HELENE BAILLY Gallery recently published the Catalogues Raisonnés of Léon Pourtau and Henri Delavallée and contributed to the development of the latest volume of Francis Picabia's catalogue raisonné.
