This exhibition traces the dynamic evolution of painting through the 20th century, from the Impressionist movement, born out of the advent of photography, to the birth of abstract art. Explore the pivotal role Paul Cézanne played in fusing traditional techniques with new ideas, and how his work deeply influenced figures like Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Henri Matisse.
Witness how within a short span of 50 years, painting underwent radical transformations: Fauvism, which sought to emancipate colour from its descriptive duties, Cubism, which offered a new exploration of form, and the eventual advent of Abstract art. This exhibition is not just a celebration of artistic evolution but also an opportunity to appreciate the resilience and inventiveness inherent in artistic expression.
Made possible by the extensive and high-quality collections at the Artizon Museum, this exhibition invites you to delve into the immersive narrative of abstraction, underlining its importance in the rich history of art.
