THe CoMMITTEE

The Committee was born from Raphaël Roux dit Buisson’s passion for Jacqueline Marval. Admiring her work, Raphaël Roux dit Buisson started collecting and spreading her œuvre about forty years ago, creating the biggest Marval collection - worldwide - more than 70 oils, dozens of prints, and an unique archive database, composed of hundreds of originals, articles, letters, notes and photographs.

Close to the Bateau-Lavoir, in Montmartre, close to what used to be the Galerie Berthe Weill, where Marval, Matisse and other young fauvists were exhibited for the very first time outside of the Salons, close to the rue Lafitte, where Ambroise Vollard had his shop, is the Comité Jacqueline Marval (Committee Jacqueline Marval in English) were the collection can be seen. We receive and make private visits by appointment only.

The Committee aims to allow the re-discovery of Jacqueline Marval’s work, from a contemporary viewpoint, in a world that did not expect her, and in which she took a prominent role.

From the exhibition of her works to the redaction of the Catalogue Raisonné, by compiling and making her archives accessible - crossed with the ones from museums and worldwide institutions (musée d’Orsay, Metropolitan Museum, universities, libraries, and so on), the Committee tells the story of this great artist.
