Columbus Museum of Art
October 21, 2017 – January 21, 2018
In partnership with the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Spain, Columbus Museum of Art presents Beyond Impressionism – Paris, Fin de Siècle: Signac, Redon, Toulouse-Lautrec and Their Contemporaries. CMA
is the only U.S. venue for this extraordinary exhibition. Featuring
approximately 100 paintings, drawings, prints, and works on paper, the
exhibition explores the Parisian art scene, focusing on the most
important French avant-garde artists of the late 19th century, including
Paul Signac, Maximilien Luce, Maurice Denis, Pierre Bonnard, Félix
Vallotton, Odilon Redon, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
The Parisian fin
de siècle was a time of political upheaval and intense cultural
transformation. Mirroring the many facets of an anxious, unsettled era,
this period saw the emergence of a broad spectrum of new artistic
movements. Despite the diversity of styles, their subject matter
remained largely that of their still-active Impressionist predecessors:
landscapes, the modern city, and leisure-time activities, though the
avant gardes added introspective scenes and fantastical visions to the
repertoire.
