Summary: The sleeping model, an allegory for abandonment, has been an artist preoccupation since the Renaissance. From the poetic and secret aspect of dreams to the purely erotic dimension, artists have succeeded in expressing their innermost thoughts through this subject which has become an archetypal theme in both painting and sculpture alike. It has inspired some of the greatest artists, such as Bonnard, Vallotton, Vuillard, Matisse, Picasso, Brancusi, Renoir, Van Dongen and so many others. Through a selection of around fifty often major works, the catalogue shows the derivation of this subject from the end of the nineteenth century with the Symbolists and the Nabis and up until the 1950s.
