Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac is presenting Dejeuner Sur L’herbe, a group exhibition curated around notions of lingering. The title is less a direct reference to Edouard Manet’s groundbreaking painting than a point of departure to explore the complex span of interpretations related to it. Just like Manet refused to conform to convention and initiated a new freedom from traditional subjects and modes of representation, the works presented in the exhibition deliberately take the landscape genre as a way to capture a contemporary state of being.
