Alfred Boucher, a renowned artist showered with honours and commissions in his day, is largely unknown today. The exhibition Alfred Boucher, de l'atelier au musée pays tribute to the sculptor who was Camille Claudel's first teacher, as well as a collector and philanthropist. The exhibition brings together some 130 works - sculptures, paintings, drawings and ceramics - that Alfred Boucher donated to the town of Nogent-sur-Seine at the dawn of the 20th century, a collection taken from the museum's reserves and entirely restored for the occasion. Inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the intimacy of Boucher's studio, the scenography is freely inspired by the jumble that reigned there, known thanks to a series of stereoscopic photographs.
