French Moderns

Immerse yourself in French Moderns, an exhibition of about 60 artworks that positions France as the artistic center of international Modernism from the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries.

Encompassing realism, impressionism, post-impressionism, symbolism, Fauvism, cubism, and surrealism, French Moderns exemplifies the avant-garde movements that defined modern art in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and that continue to awe art-goers today. Ranging widely in style, the exhibition features paintings, drawings and sculptures created by the era’s leading artists born in France, as well as those who studied and exhibited there, including Paul Cézanne, Marc Chagall, Camille Corot, Gustave Courbet, Edgar Degas, Jean-Léon Gérôme, Henri Matisse, Berthe Morisot, Gabriele Münter, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Auguste Rodin.

French Moderns is organized by Lisa Small, Senior Curator of European Art, and Richard Aste, former Curator of European Art at the Brooklyn Museum
