In 1921/22 Édouard Vuillard created a cycle of six paintings for the entrance hall of the Villa Bauer in Basel. Four large-format pictures show exhibition rooms in the Louvre from Antiquity to French Rococo painting. Two sopraporte provide an intimate insight into the artist?s art collection.00Of outstanding quality with regard to its content and form, the cycle of paintings has hardly been examined or exhibited to date. It was created immediately after the end of World War I and the reopening of the Louvre. Vuillard?s Louvre pictures are a humanist manifesto for the social importance and responsibility of museums as places where testimonies to human creativity are preserved for future generations.00Exhibition: Kunstforum Baloise, Basel, Switzerland (20.09.2021 - 28.01.2022).
