Alfred Boucher, de l’atelier au musée

March 30 - July 28, 2024 Alfred Boucher, a recognized artist covered with honors and commissions in his time, is today largely unknown. Alfred Boucher, in the secrecy of the workshop, pays tribute to this sculptor who was Camille Claudel's first teacher but who was also a collector and philanthropist. The exhibition brings together around 130 works – sculptures, paintings, drawings and ceramics – which Alfred Boucher donated to the town of Nogent-sur-Seine at the dawn of the 20th century, a collection taken out of the museum's reserves and entirely restored for the 'occasion. Inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the intimacy of the sculptor's workshop, the scenography is freely inspired by the jumble that reigned there, known thanks to a series of restored and digitized stereoscopic photographs.
