About the Exhibition

The exhibition, presented by PNC Bank, is an exhibition of over one hundred masterworks with more than half from the Brooklyn Museum's esteemed European collection. The exhibition highlights France's role as the epicenter of modernism during a time of profound social, intellectual, and political change. Drawing from its own distinguished collection, the Birmingham Museum of Art has nearly doubled the size of the exhibition, offering a broader and more comprehensive exploration of this transformative period in art history.

Curator

Lisa Small (Senior Curator of European Art), Richard Aste (former Curator of European Art, Brooklyn Museum), and Maggie Crosland (Fariss Gambrill Lynn and Henry Sharpe Lynn Curator of European Art, Birmingham Museum of Art)
