Curator Laurence Bertrand Dorléac, working with Thibault Boulvain et Dimitri Salmon, have essentially assembled a definitive journey into the genre. There are 15 themes including the objects we leave behind, the tradition of floral and fruit compositions, the fascination with meat carcasses, the vanitas (a symbol of death that has progressed from 1st century mosaics to tattoos), and human replicas. It is rare that the world’s most-visited museum mounts a show featuring such a large proportion of modern and contemporary works. But here a masterpiece by Jan Davidsz de Heem is paired with Henri Matisse’s appropriation, or a haunting painting of a skull by Gerhard Richter is followed by a far more gruesome version by Jake and Dinos Chapman. Also noteworthy is the higher representation of women artists than what is found in the Louvre’s collections. Historically, women gravitated towards the still life—such safe and domestic-leaning subject matter. Yet from Louise Moillon’s realistic array of summer fruit from 1633 to Sam Taylor-Wood’s video of a decomposing fruit plate, or Meret Oppenheim’s readymade squirrel tail, we see how women have developed a non-conformist approach to the genre.
