Exhibition “Masterpieces, at the heart of the Sainte-Anne Collection”

The Museum of Art and History at Sainte-Anne Hospital is pleased to announce its new exhibition, “Masterpieces: At the Heart of the Sainte-Anne Collection,” which highlights emblematic works by patient artists.

The exhibition is divided into six thematic sections, including:

– History of Asylum and Refuge
– Dreams of Landscape and Adventure
– Imaginary Worlds
– Raw and Beautiful
– The Intimate and the Living
– Symbolism

It will offer the opportunity to discover the works of now-renowned artists such as Aloïse Corbaz, Unica Zürn, Guillaume Pujolle, Maurice Blin, and Caroline Macdonald, as well as those of anonymous artists from Poland, India, and Japan.

This exhibition aims, in particular, to contribute to destigmatizing the artistic production of patient artists by demonstrating that it is fully integrated into the history of art and creation.

The MAHHSA (Museum of Art and History of Sainte-Anne Hospital) houses numerous works created by patient-artists. Dating from the 19th century to the present day, these works come from France, as well as from hospitals around the world (Brazil, India, Japan, etc.). The MAHHSA was the first hospital museum dedicated to art to be awarded the “Musée de France” designation in 2016.
