The concept of the imaginary museum, formulated by André Malraux in The Imaginary Museum (1947), refers to the set of works that everyone can mentally assemble through reproductions, at the time mainly photographic.

Art without borders: towards a universal experience 2b413j

This possibility of bringing together works from different civilizations, eras, and styles, outside of material constraints, transforms our relationship with art into a personal, free, and universal experience. Today, the imaginary museum finds an extension in virtual galleries, which, through the networking of global visual archives, allow us to create our own imaginary museum and share it.

Portrait of a visionary: Maurice Lévy, founder of YourArt 6pi5a

A Commander of the Legion of Honor, he has received numerous awards for his commitment to tolerance and innovation.

An imaginary museum between emotion, aesthetics and humanity 3kq4h

Maurice Lévy introduces us to his imaginary museum of works that transcend temporal and aesthetic boundaries, with the common thread of exploring the complexity of human emotions and the ardor of our lives.

Selection of works from Maurice Lévy's imaginary museum 53728

Before discovering the entire imaginary museum of Maurice Lévy, founder of the digital platform YourArt, we invite you to explore a selection of works:

Titian, Solome , 1515 5q4913

Beauty of Salome, interrogation of the servant, head of Jean-B on a plate and strangely no fear or horror, strange peaceful beauty represented.

Monet, The Rose Alley , Giverny , 1922 1rz1z

Far from the water lilies, we have a painting that is closer to a Jackson Pollock. This is perhaps the mystery of Monet, he is at the origin of both Impressionism and, to some extent, of abstraction.

Fernand Léger, The City , 1919 124b63

With his solid peasant physique, Fernand Léger gives anything but the impression of being light. He masterfully painted the working world, the world of construction, and in this representation of the creation of the world, he put everything he loves into it.

Marc Chagall, Bride with Blue Face , 1932 4n5f4n

Chagall's work is immense, and can be found in all the world's greatest museums. But Chagall is first and foremost a universe that belongs only to him. His Russian soul, his Yiddish village, and all these symbols that translate this permanent dream that we find with this violin, this fiancée, and this explosion of colors.
