Musée Delacroix, Paris, France
October 22–November 2, 2025
Nate Lowman’s exhibition, After Delacroix, at the Musée national Eugène Delacroix, brings works by the artist in dialogue with the work of Romantic master Eugene Delacroix to examine how influence shifts across generations and contexts.
At the center of the exhibition is an oil painting by Lowman that reimagines Delacroix’s painter’s palette as both a material archive and a record of artistic decision-making. Surrounding it, light sculptures assembled from hand-printed t-shirts, paint cans, and other studio materials transform cultural fragments into new symbols, while a painting (in the shape of a car air freshener) references a canvas by painter Cecily Brown—who herself is also directly inspired by Delacroix’s legacy. By tracing these disparate lines of influence, Lowman reanimates Delacroix’s work as a living force and treats history itself as a material to be worked with. Learn more at Musée Delacroix.
