The poet Guillaume Apollinaire called Henri Manguin 'the voluptuous painter'.

Manguin celebrated la joie de vivre through appealing themes like nudes, sunbathed mediterranean landscapes, peaceful family scenes and still lives.

Manguin studied with Gustave Moreau and was influenced by the impressionist movement.

From his first attempts to 1918, he kept painting works full of happiness and sensuality.

A friend of Henri Matisse, he used daring color combinations and was part of the Fauves, exhibiting with them in 1905.

The 100 works on display at Giverny focus on the time when Manguin was most audacious and innovative, in the early 20th Century.
