Marie Watteau, the blending of art and wine

After a DEA in Art History at the Sorbonne, Marie Watteau set up her first company at the age of 22: Eurek’Art. For several years, and in parallel with her work with galleries, experts and auctioneers, she carried out research missions in the History of 19th and early 20th century Art for many foreign museums (Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Cleveland Museum of Art, Minneapolis Institute…). In 2003, leaving research to turn to the art market, she opened her first gallery in Paris, rue Sainte-Anne, before settling in 2007 rue de Beaune in the prestigious “Carré Rive gauche”. In its galleries, it organizes more than twenty exhibitions, enriching numerous French and foreign private collections with its discoveries. The Orsay Museum, the Petit Palais Museum, the 1930s Museum in Boulogne, the Meudon Museum, the Maurice Denis Museum and the Copenhagen Museum also buy works from him. In 2014, she left her hometown to settle in Bordeaux, charmed by the beauty of the city and enthusiastic about what remains to be done there. Continuing brokerage and collection management advice, she decided in 2021 to leave her office to take over a space open to the street: a gallery opposite the Parc Bordelais.

The “Vive le vin” exhibition until June 10, 2022

Mary Watteau: “This exhibition on WINE is intended to be the first of a long series. Marie Watteau has every intention of making this theme one of the specialties of her gallery. Settled for 8 years in Bordeaux and herself a wine lover, it is “It was obvious to her. And the clientele is not only from Bordeaux, she likes to recall, because wine enthusiasts all over the world are passionate about it!”

The exhibition to visit online “Vive le vin”

Allegories of wine or drunkenness, still lifes, heads of Bacchus and of course harvest scenes: these are the different themes that can be found on the picture rails of the Marie Watteau gallery from May 20 to June 10, 2022. If the subject is regularly treated by museums and institutions, it is never in a gallery where the works are for sale. This will indeed be the case for the thirty or so paintings, drawings, engravings and sculptures dating from 1870 to 1970.
The 19th century is well represented by an Allegory of Wine, oil on canvas by Philippe Jolyet dated 1870 or even La Tasting by Edme Brun, painted around 1880. Drawings by the Viennese Josef Lacina executed around 1920 in the purest Art Deco style stand alongside a hyper-realistic still life painted by Georges Rohner around 1950.

Centerpieces of the exhibition, two large bas-reliefs sculpted by Albert David in 1944 seem to celebrate the Liberation of France and the rebirth of one of its greatest traditions: a harvest scene illustrates THE VINE, while the treading and the manufacture of barrels adorn the other bas-relief, entitled THE WINE
