In the 1920s and 1930s, the Chareaus assembled an important collection of modern art which included works by Braque, Klee, Léger, Lipschitz, Mondrian, and Picasso. It was thoughtfully displayed throughout the apartment at 54 rue Nollet, often shown in distinctive frames or in dialogue with furnishings. Their collection contained Cubist paintings and papiers collés by Braque, Roger de la Fresnaye, Juan Gris, and Picasso, including Picasso’s Guitar (1912; The Museum of Modern Art, New York) and Glass and Bottle of Bass (1914; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York), and Georges Braque’s Homage to J.S. Bach (1911–12; The Museum of Modern Art, New York). They also collected Constructivist and Neoplasticist work, and were among the first collectors of Mondrian’s work in France. Several Dada and Surrealist paintings by Max Ernst, André Masson, and Joan Miró were included in the collection. The Chareaus also owned a caryatid by Amedeo Modigliani (placed in their garden), several sculptures by Lipchitz, and a remarkable relief by Lipchitz titled Still Life (1918; Centre Pompidou, Paris) that closely resembled a work owned by the Dalsaces.

Between the wars, Chareau designed primarily for a cultured urban elite, and many of his patrons were Jewish. With the German occupation of Paris in 1940, his many Jewish clients were forced to depart. Chareau, whose wife Dollie Dyte Chareau was Jewish and whose mother came from a Sephardic family, fled to the United States. The exhibition will also explore the enduring consequences of Chareau’s flight from Nazi persecution, the dispersal of many of the works he designed during and after World War II, and his attempts to rebuild his career while in exile in New York during the 1940s.
