The Dutch-French artist Kees van Dongen (1877-1968) moved from the Netherlands to Paris when he was twenty and quickly joined the modernist vanguard alongside Picasso and Matisse. At the height of his fame, he occupied a luxury, five-floor mansion in Paris where he had a vast studio space, at no. 5 rue Juliette-Lamber. The path of Van Dongen’s exceptional career is reflected in his succession of studios, from the hilltop of Montmartre to his space in the famous Bateau-Lavoir, from the large apartment-studio at 6 rue Saulnier (just around the corner from the Folies-Bergères music hall) to the newer accommodations proximate the Bois de Boulogne at 29 Villa Saïd. Some of his old studios are still intact. The disparate dimensions and surroundings, as well as the nature of the works we see in studio shots, illustrate Van Dongen’s early choices. By way of these spaces, lead scholar of the Kees van Dongen Catalogue Raisonné project Anita Hopmans will introduce us to the artist’s career within the Parisian Avant-garde.
