About

The Mendjisky-Écoles de Paris Museum is a former Parisian museum founded by Patricia and Serge Mendjisky in memory of Maurice Mendjizky and a visa to preserve, protect, and showcase works by artists who, like this one, participated in the École de Paris. Its permanent collections were composed of:

paintings by artists from the first school in Paris, often from Central Europe, settled in the Montparnasse district before the Second World War, such as Maurice Mendjizky, André Lanskoy and Serge Poliakoff...; abstract and figurative ones of the second school in Paris, "having contributed to making Paris a major artistic centre between 1945 and 1960", such as Jean Fautrier, Pierre Alechinsky, Camille Bryen, Bernard Buffet, François Desnoyer, Simon Hantai. He opened in April 2014 in the workshop built by Robert Mallet-Stevens in 1932 for the glassmaker Louis Barillet in the square Vergennes in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. The museum closed "for financial reasons" on December 31, 2016.
