Windows on the City:
The School of Paris, 1900 - 1945 |
22 April - 23 October 2016
GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM BILBAO | BILBAO, SPAIN |
Windows on the City: The School of Paris, 1900 - 1945 includes some of the most influential paintings and sculptures of the last century, created by artists such as Constantin Brancusi, Georges Braque, Robert Delaunay, Amedeo Modigliani, and Pablo Picasso. |
Spanning from the first years of the twentieth century through World War II, the exhibition charts the key movements of modernism - from Cubism to Orphism to Surrealism - and the artists who came to be known as the École de Paris (School of Paris). |
Though diverse, the artistic visions represented in this exhibition manifest a common impulse to eschew conservative aesthetics and transform perceptions of everyday life in a modern city. Among the masterpieces featured are Picasso’s Le Moulin de la Galette (1900), Modigliani’s Nude (1917), and Marc Chagall’s Green Violinist (1923 - 24). |
