The Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA) today announced the homecoming of Impressionist and Modern Masters from the Cleveland Museum of Art, on view October 21, 2007 – January 13, 2008, at CMA. Admission to the exhibition is FREE.
Impressionist and Modern Masters from the Cleveland Museum of Art, one of several CMA traveling exhibition series, drew more than 522,000 visitors in Asia with venues in Seoul, Tokyo and Beijing and attracted more than 200,000 during its stop in Vancouver, British Columbia. This exhibition, making a stop in Cleveland this fall, covers a century of art making from 1864 to 1964 and showcases important works by the major Impressionists, Post-Impressionists, early modern sculptors and avant-garde artists interested in Dadaism, Cubism and Surrealism.
Impressionist and Modern Masters from the Cleveland Museum of Art, curated by William H. Robinson, features 144 works from the museum’s distinguished collection of 19th and 20th century European art (87 paintings, 21 sculptures and 36 works on paper). The exhibition, also known as Monet to Dalí on its world tour, includes masterworks in painting, drawing, prints and sculpture by the most important and influential artists of the modernist era. Organized as a large touring exhibition, the presentation has been expanded in Cleveland to include works seen only at this venue.
Among the featured highlights are fragile pastels and works on paper not normally on view. Visitors will be able to view iconic works by Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Auguste Rodin, tracing the development of modern European art from Impressionism through early-20th-century avant-gardes. -- www.clevelandart.org
