After Impressionism: Inventing Modern Art – Exhibition Lecture
Monday 22nd May 6.00PM BSTINTRODUCTION
The art of Van Gogh, Klimt, Rodin, Cézanne, Picasso and many of their contemporaries is celebrated in a major exhibition opening at the National Gallery this Spring. Whilst Paris is often cited as the heart of the modern movement at the turn of the century, other cities such as Berlin, Brussels and Vienna also witnessed the emergence of some of the most important and radical new movements, including Expressionism and Abstraction. This exhibition explores the wide variety of new artistic languages that emerged in the wake of Impressionism, illustrated by an extraordinary selection of loans, many of which have never been exhibited in the UK before.
Join us for an introductory talk with Art History in Focus director and National Gallery lecturer, Siân Walters.
