I shall always remember
"Moses and the Egyptians" 1982 JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT
I paid close attention to the few Basquiat paintings that were there, as I generally love his work. But the color of this painting particularly moved me, so I went to have a closer look. I didn't immediately know what the work meant, first I saw a heart cut in two, then I read the few words written on it, and understood that the painting was about religion .
Then, much later, I saw the profile of a person who must surely have been Moses. I can't really say what I like about this painting, but rather what attracted my attention more than the other works: it was the fact that I found it hard to understand what the author was trying to say
was created at a particularly important moment in Jean-Michel Basquiat's career: after his discovery as an artist and before his period of maximum productivity. The piece is crucial to understanding the evolution of his painting during the 1980s.
At the center of the composition, Moses' profile is suggested by white lines that seem the result of an instantaneous, unpremeditated impulse. This same color not only envelops the gigantic Tables of the Law, but also extends around the prophet's profile in the form of expressive drips and smudges. The tables also contain a series of inscriptions whose organization is more restrained and grouped. This work obviously alludes to a biblical episode, which at the same time may have a link with african history.
JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT made work that is acutely personal and political, referencing painful issues that the artist faced as a Black man in the United States. The mingling of texts and figures, references to literature, anatomy, jazz, and Black history all drove Basquiat's work from the cryptic statements of his early graffiti into complex image/ word works.

The Swan By Hilma Af Klint
Hilma af Klint was a Swedish painter born on October 26, 1862 at Karlberg Castle in Solna, Stockholm. She is considered a pioneer in abstract painting and today she is famous all over the world. His paintings are not just aesthetic works of art, but are full of symbols that can be deciphered. In this way, the works can be "read" as hidden messages.
This painting embody two swans, black and white. They are in an extended position and kissing. The black swan is located on the white background, when the white swan is located on the black background.
This painting display the opposition, difference and contraire between something or somebody. But with this totale opposition (like black and white swan) they are attracted to each other. Opposites attract.

I Shall Always remember…
« My drawing room » , 2008, Yashimoto Nara
This work of art is my favorite in the museum because for me it represents something truly unique. In fact it is an installation, a small wooden house which illustrates the personal universe of the artist. In this one you can see objects and images that are dear to him, such as toys from his childhood, his music albums, etc.
This work gives us a feeling of familiarity because we find the framework in which the artist isolates himself to create, he devotes himself body and soul to his work.

« In foutain of life », (2001/2014,2022) , Yoshitomo Nara
The work In fountain of life, is my favorite due to its unique and fascinating shape. This work also marked me thanks to his message. The faces of children representing innocence seem serene, yet tears flow down their cheeks. This gave me the impression that the work seems to foreshadow a disturbing and dark perspective for the future.

« Puppy « Jeff Koons,1992
My favorite piece of art is Puppy made by Jeff Koones in 1992. I like its simplicity, the flowers that form its coat make me feel harmony between the animal and nature. It inspires me with good weather and the joy of living.

« Tulipes »
Jeff Koons
2004
This sculpture made an impression on me because of it’s bright colours. I also like the fact that even if it’s made of steel, it feels soft and smooth.

« Man from Naples »
Jean-Michel Basquiat
1982
I liked it because firstly I appreciate Basquiat's work in general, then the whole inscription written out of order and at first glance without any precise meaning made me want to linger on this work to try to understand it better. Finally, I liked the writing style with this “rough” effect because it is reminiscent of graphitis.

Split Second is a human size art expérience.
This art Work by Anthony McCall created in 2025 demonstrate a real space were only your vision is request.
A silence black room without any touch possibility but a white beam of light into a fine fog really create a intringuing atmosphère for the visitor.

Infinity Mirrored Room by Yayoi Kusama 2000
From the outside it is simply a white small box. But then when you pass the door a perspective of infinity thank to the mirror and the colored light set up a mood. It look like a galaxy with a jazzy feeling.

YAYOI KUSAMA 2020
“I really liked that artwork because it made me feel like I was in another dimension…The lights made the whole place magical. Due to the mirrors, we really had the feeling of infinity out of this little box.”

Nine Discourses on Commodus, CY TWOMBLY, 1963
“This exhibition of nine paintings caught my attention because of the warm colours and the messiness effect. I found it extremely beautiful especially the most coloured ones. I tried to find a meaning but i couldn't, i never really do with art, so i just continued looking at it and finding it beautiful. ”

“ Smoke Screen | - VII ”, Anthony McCall, 2017
“I was fascinated by the “tube” effect conveyed by the light and the smoke. Even though it’s not colourful it’s very peaceful and dreamy. I entered the room and went “wow !!” and I’m very proud to say that I shall never forget this artwork.”
