image

• Dates: May 12–September 17, 2017
• Curator: Vivien Greene, Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation

- This is an exceptional opportunity to view rarely seen, late 19th-century French avantgarde works from private European collections.
The exhibition focuses on the radical innovations of the Neo-Impressionists, Symbolists, and the Nabis, and the revival of printmaking in the 1890s. It includes artists such as Paul Signac, Odilon Redon, Pierre Bonnard, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, who carefully crafted compositions that are anti-naturalistic in form and execution.

- The artworks featured in this exhibition, mirroring a time of political and social upheaval, embrace utopian conceptions of shimmering seascapes and landscapes; introspective, fantastical visions; and stark, incisive portrayals of contemporary life.

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is pleased to present Paris, Fin de Siècle: Signac, Redon, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Their Contemporaries , an exhibition that analyzes the Parisian art scene, underscoring the most important French avant-gardes of the late 19th century, particularly the Neo-Impressionists, Symbolists, and Nabis. The leading exponents of these movements are represented in the show by approximately 125 paintings, pastels, drawings, and prints.
