Bridget Riley and Peter Doig Exhibitions in Paris Highlight Contrasting Post-Impressionist Ties
Mick Finch's inaugural Paris dispatch examines concurrent exhibitions of Bridget Riley and Peter Doig at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Both artists, active in Britain but from distinct generations, present works that reveal divergent engagements with Post-Impressionism. Riley, known for her Op art, and Doig, celebrated for his evocative landscapes, offer a study in contrasting artistic lineages. The exhibitions are part of a broader program at the museum, which also includes 'Co-workers: le réseau comme artiste,' an inclusive traveling retrospective exploring the blend of fine and applied art across the 20th century. This retrospective charts the artist and designer's interdisciplinary practice. The Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris serves as a key venue for these displays, underscoring its role in presenting comparative artistic dialogues. Finch's analysis provides insight into how these two figures relate to historical movements, with the shows running concurrently in Paris.
