Marie Antoinette at the Pétit Trianon
Museum
Marie-Antoinette, the Austrian-born queen of Louis XVI of France, was
given the Pétit Trianon, a small château secluded in the park at
Versailles, upon her accession in 1774. An icon of French neoclassicism,
it exemplifies the perfection of 18th-century French architecture
through its delicate balance of form and proportion. Its interiors were
furnished to the queen’s order with pieces of the utmost elegance,
restraint, and beauty. This exhibition gives a visual history of the
Pétit Trianon through 88 pieces of the finest furniture, paintings, and
sculpture from this château. It is complemented by watercolors, prints
and drawings of the house and its innovative landscaping, including the
picturesque Hameau, a rustic village where the queen and her favorites
could relax away from the prying eyes of the court at Versailles. This
is the only venue of the exhibition, which is organized by the Musée
National of the Château de Versailles.

Dreaming of a Speech Without Words: The Paintings and Early Objects of
H.C. Westermann
Museum
Dreaming of a Speech Without Words: The Paintings and Early Objects of
H.C. Westermann H.C. Westermann
(1922-1981) is primarily known as a sculptor and printmaker, but he
began his career in Chicago as a painter. This exhibition brings
together his paintings, sculptures, and drawings from the 1950s and
1960s, many of which were based on his experiences in the military
during World War II and the Korean War. Although Westermann's art has
been linked to surrealism and dada, it also refers to Native American
and tribal art, making Westermann an entirely original, idiosyncratic
talent. The exhibition is organized and toured by The Contemporary
Museum of Honolulu.
