She is the author of numerous illustrated essays, including a book on Pre-Raphaelites for the collection ‘Découvertes Gallimard’, Les Préraphaélites : Un modernisme à l’anglaise (1999); L’art français : Le XIXᵉ siècle (Flammarion, 2008); Le petit dictionnaire Vallotton en 21 obsessions (RMN Grand Palais, 2013), et cetera.
Laurence des Cars was appointed scientific director of the Agence France-Muséums [fr] in July 2007, French operator in charge of the development of the Louvre Abu Dhabi. She was also promoted to general curator of heritage in 2011 and was appointed director of the Musée de l’Orangerie in January 2014, by the Minister of Culture, Aurélie Filippetti. On 27 February 2017, she was officially appointed director of the Musée d’Orsay by the then French President François Hollande.
Supported by art critic John Ruskin, who was the voice of modernity at the time, this group of young people—they were only 20 years old—took inspiration from the medieval art, just like the neo-Gothic architects did before them. Their works reflect both a sense of nature and a social concern. The second generation of artists of this Brotherhood, led by Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris, applied their principles to the decor, furniture, and illustrated books, influencing 'Symbolist Europe' through their imaginary.
Laurence des Cars, chronicler of this artistic story of rebellion, retraces its history in this small 1999 volume, entitled Les Préraphaélites : Un modernisme à l'anglaise (lit. 'The Pre-Raphaelites: An English Modernism'; English-language edition – The Pre-Raphaelites: Romance and Realism), published by Éditions Gallimard in its Peinture series of the Découvertes collection. The book is illustrated with 125 illustrations, 95 in colour, and has five chapters: Ⅰ, 'A Victorian Rebellion'; Ⅱ, 'Avant-Garde Archaism (1848–51)'; Ⅲ, 'Individual Destinies (1852–6)'; Ⅳ, 'Artistic Careers' (1857–70); Ⅴ, 'Towards Symbolism (1871–98)'.
Laurence des Cars was born in Antony, France. She is the daughter of the journalist and writer Jean des Cars [fr] and granddaughter of the novelist Guy des Cars. She studied art history at Paris-Sorbonne University and École du Louvre, then joined the Institut national du patrimoine and took her first position as curator at the Musée d'Orsay in 1994.
Laurence des Cars (born Laurence Élisabeth de Pérusse des Cars on 13 June 1966) is a French general curator of heritage and art historian, current director at the Musée d'Orsay and Musée de l'Orangerie.
In 1848, during the reign of Queen Victoria, English painting, had been bogged down in the convention. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, by radically innovative aesthetic choices, would bring it back to life. John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and William Holman Hunt are the original members of this Brotherhood. They claimed a freedom and authenticity that they felt painting had lost since academicism has regarded Raphael as a model.
