MUSEUMS & ATTRACTIONS
|
- The Philadelphia Museum of Art is presenting Gauguin, Cezanne, Matisse: Visions of Arcadia until September 2012. In France during the early 1900s, the idea of Arcadia as a mystical place of contentment and harmony was illustrated in mural-sized paintings that were often commissioned for public viewing. This exhibition explores the theme in three such paintings of the time: Paul Gauguin’s Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? (1898), Paul Cezanne’s The Large Bathers (1906) and Henri Matisse’s Bathers by a River (1909-17). Other artists featured in the exhibit include Albert Gleizes, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Pablo Picasso and Paul Signac. For more information, call 215.763.8100 or visit www.philamuseum.org.
