MUSÉE D´ORSAY
EXPOSITION
Until 13 August 2023
Explore a period of great upheaval when
artists broke with established tradition and laid the foundations for the art
of the 20th and the 21st centuries.
The decades between 1880 and the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 were a complex, vibrant period of artistic questioning, searching, risk-taking and innovation.

The exhibition celebrates the achievements of
three giants of the era: Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin and
follows the influences they had on younger generations of French artists, on
their peers and on wider circles of artists across Europe in Barcelona, Berlin,
Brussels and Vienna.
With nearly a hundred works by artists ranging
from Klimt and Munch, Matisse and Picasso to Mondrian and Kandinsky
complemented by a selection of sculpture by artists including Rodin and Camille
Claudel, the exhibition follows the creation of a new, modern art, free of
convention, taking in Expressionism, Cubism and Abstraction.
The exhibition includes some of the most iconic works of art
created during these decades. Important loans come to the exhibition from institutions
and private collections worldwide including Museum of Modern Art, New York;
Musée d’Orsay, Paris; Art Institute of Chicago; Musée Rodin, Paris; National
Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh; Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya, Barcelona;
and Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, Connecticut.
