The Grand Curtius hosts a screening dedicated to the complex relationship between Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas, exploring their rivalry and pursuit of artistic modernity.

In 1917, the death of Edgar Degas revealed a collection of works by Édouard Manet, sparking interest in the relationship between these two major figures of 19th-century art. The film Édouard Manet x Edgar Degas delves into this tumultuous friendship, marked by rivalry and scandal, amidst the artistic revolutions and transformations of Parisian life.
The Museum Animation Service, in collaboration with the Film Centre for Art, organizes a film screening focused on art every third Wednesday of the month. This cycle explores various topics related to artists and artistic movements through a selection of carefully chosen films.
The next session will take place at the auditorium of the Grand Curtius on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, at 12:30 PM. Participation costs €3. Reservations can be made online.
