From Monet to Van Gogh to Kandinsky. New Perspectives on Nature and Modernity – Ferrara
Masterpieces from the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen and other important collections: over 120 works including paintings, drawings and engravings, which will lead you on a journey to discover the masterworks of Monet, Degas, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Picasso, Kandinsky and Mondrian. These are the names that mark the stages of an epochal turning point: the exhibition itinerary retraces the salient phases of the painting evolution between the 19th and 20th centuries. In less than eighty years, European painting went from direct observation of nature to the dissolution of reality, passing through impressionism, post-impressionism, divisionism and futurism. The exhibition at Palazzo dei Diamanti reconstructs these extraordinary transformations.
