- Abstract
The exhibition "Peter Doig: Reflections of the Century" took place at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris from October 17, 2023, to January 21, 2024. This was the first solo exhibition of the Scottish-born artist in Paris since 2008. The exhibition featured eleven large paintings by Doig, along with a selection of works from the Musée d'Orsay chosen by the artist. Doig's paintings are inspired by his travels, personal memories, and various visual sources, resulting in mysterious and dreamlike scenes. The exhibition provided an opportunity to see Doig's recent works and understand how nineteenth-century art influences his work. The inclusion of works from the Musée d'Orsay collection was a successful experiment, showcasing the connections between Doig's art and the art of the past. However, the exhibition only presented a small selection of Doig's production, and it is hoped that more of his work will be available for viewing in France in the future.
