Art in Service of Social Consciousness

Christian Krohg is a painter who left an indelible mark on the history of Norwegian art. While he is very popular in the Nordic countries, he remains relatively unknown in France. This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to discover his work and understand the social and political issues of his time. Through his paintings, Krohg addresses universal themes such as poverty, women's living conditions, famine, and public health issues. These subjects, though from the 19th century, still resonate strongly today, making the exhibition all the more relevant.

Krohg does not merely represent reality; he seeks to awaken the viewer's consciousness. His works testify to his desire to draw attention to the struggles of social classes and the injustices of his time. By visiting this exhibition, you will have the chance to explore these issues from a new perspective while appreciating the aesthetic richness of his creations.
