“Jacqueline Marval, Birth of a Woman Artist” now on YouTube
A film about the early career of Marval - how, at the dawn of the 20th century in Paris, as a self-taught artist, she participated in the artistic avant-garde alongside men like Matisse and Picasso, forging a deeply personal path following the tragedy of losing her child.
Discover the birth of an artist and the invention of a gaze, that of a woman in painting, from her redefinition of the female image through her self-portraits to her masterpiece “The Odalisques” (1903).
“Being a Woman Artist in the early 1900s” talk, in collaboration with Institut Français de Suède
As part of Women’s Rights Month, we had the pleasure of participating in the conference “Being a Woman Artist in the early 1900s, Paris”, during which Camille Roux dit Buisson (director, Comité Jacqueline Marval, Paris), conversed with Linda Hinners (sculpture curator, National Museum Stockholm). The discussion, moderated by Anna-Maria Bernitz (Swedish Institute), took place within the Marval exhibition at Millesgarden Museum. Why choose to become an artist? How to study, how to exhibit and establish oneself not only as a female artist, but as an artist? We attended to address these questions through the journeys of two artists, Jacqueline Marval and Camille Claudel.
Conference in collaboration with Institut Français de Suède. We would like to thank H.E the Ambassador of France in Sweden for his brilliant exhibition.

Jacqueline Marval Exhibition at the Millesgarden Museum (Stockholm)
We are delighted to announce the first international retrospective exhibition of Jacqueline Marval, "Jacqueline Marval, Fauvism, Feminism, Flamboyance," at the Millesgarden Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, from February 10 to May 19, 2024.
This retrospective, the first since 1987, provides visitors with a rare opportunity to dive into the work of this iconic XXth-century figure. Featuring around fifty paintings, as well as works on paper and exclusive archives, the exhibition narrates the artist's journey from her beginnings in 1895 to her death in 1932. It showcases historical pieces such as her nude self-portrait from 1900, "Odalisque with a Cheetah," which got her recognized from Ambroise Vollard and launched her career.
This exhibition, illustrating the artist's influence on her surroundings, traces her life and journey from her Parisian rebirth to the end of her life. It highlights the major themes of her work, including self-portraits, the reappropriation of her image, the female nude, odalisques, Biarritz, numerous bouquets, and addresses current themes seen through her works exhibited at the Petit Palais (Paris de la Modernité show) until April: war years and her designs for the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.
Publication of the book “Jacqueline Marval, une fauve au Théâtre”
We are very happy to announce the publication of the book “Jacqueline Marval, une fauve au théâtre”, written by Martine Lacas and realized in collaboration with the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, which is mainly about the links between the artist and the institution and tells about Marval’s life and work.
Available at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées and at the Petit Palais for the exhibition of the Paris de la Modernité in which four Marval paintings are exhibited. Out in bookshops from early 2024!
Jacqueline Marval at the Petit Palais
We are thrilled to announce the participation of Jacqueline Marval to the exhibition “Le Paris de la Modernité” at the Petit Palais (Paris), from November 14th 2023 to April 14th 2024.
Both chronological and thematic, this exhibition holds its originality from the geographical scope it focuses on, the one of the Champs-Élysées. It also explores the influence of major historical events of the relevant period, such as WWI.
Four paintings by Jacqueline Marval will be exhibited. First, the portrait of the famous dancers Nijinsky and Karsavina, as well as "La Danse Bleue," a tribute to the movement reminiscing us of her friend Matisse. This is connected to her passion for the Ballets Russes and her involvement in decorating the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.
On the other hand, "Jeune fille assise" and "Les Poupées patriotiques" evoke her connection to the First World War, expressed through her profound attachment to childhood. This perspective is notably critical of the conflict, emphasizing its manifestation as a failure of humanity.

Discover the Pionnières exhibition at the Musée du Luxembourg in Paris, with two works of Jacqueline Marval:
L’Étrange Femme (1920) and Baigneuse au maillot noir (1923).
This exhibition invites us to reinstate them in this changing history of art, from Fauvism to abstraction via Cubism, Dada and Surrealism, but also in the worlds of architecture, dance, design, literature and fashion, as well as scientific discovery. Their visual and conceptual explorations attest to their audacity and courage in the face of established conventions that confined women within certain professions and stereotypes.
