Step into a world where the human body reclaims its rightful place as the centerpiece of art. After years of abstraction dominating the scene, figuration is back, and it’s more powerful than ever. At the Pinault Collection’s private museum in Paris, the exhibition *“Corps et Âmes”* (Bodies and Souls) brings together over 100 works by 41 artists, spanning mediums, geographies, and time periods. From Auguste Rodin’s ballerinas to Deana Lawson’s striking portraits, from Marlene Dumas’ evocative canvases to Peter Doig’s dreamlike scenes, this exhibition is a celebration of the human form. With Ana Mendieta’s haunting films, Georg Baselitz’s monumental paintings, and Arthur Jafa’s poignant video *Love Is the Message, the Message Is Death*, the show explores what it means to live, feel, and exist in our own skin. Curated from the Pinault family’s private collection, this exhibition is a testament to the enduring power of art to ask the most profound question of all: What does it mean to be human?
