"I Declare I Live by My Art": In the Studio of the Lemoine & Chaudet Sisters

This temporary exhibition, presented in France in 2023, shines a light on the Lemoine and Chaudet sisters — remarkable women artists who boldly declared their livelihood and identity through their art. Stepping into their studios, visitors discover the creative worlds these women built at a time when female artistic ambition demanded courage and determination.

Through works, documents, and reconstructed studio environments, the exhibition invites reflection on the place of women in the history of art, and on the personal and professional struggles they faced in asserting themselves as professional artists.
