Talisman

Ali Banisadr hears colours. He has synaesthesia, and the museum says he builds his paintings like visual scores. For Moreau's bicentenary he steeped himself in Moreau's work and made new pastels and four bronzes, among them Gilgamesh and Cyclopes, with older pieces added alongside.

There is no separate gallery. The works sit inside the permanent collection, in the ground-floor rooms and the second-floor studio, where Moreau's canvases still hang frame to frame as he and his heir Henri Rupp left them in 1903. You find Banisadr by walking Moreau's rooms. It is the museum's first carte blanche and the first living artist it has invited since opening, so Banisadr is the first new tenant that hang has taken in 123 years.
