At Fortress of Bard live lectures on masterpieces from Johannesburg Art Gallery

The Fortress of Bard is offering two lectures aimed at exploring the exhibition Masterpieces from the Johannesburg Art Gallery. From the Impressionists to Picasso, set up in its rooms and closed to the public due to a health emergency.

The first appointment is scheduled for Tuesday, April 7 at 6 p.m. and will be devoted to a presentation of the exhibition project and the collection that was opened to the public in 1910, becoming Africa’s leading art museum. The exhibition at the Fortress of Bard brings together 64 works, including oils, watercolors and graphics by great masters of the 19th and 20th centuries, such as Degas, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Corot, Boudin, Courbet, Monet, Van Gogh, Signac, Picasso, Bacon, Liechtenstein and Warhol, up to the most recent protagonists of the South African art scene, such as William Kentridge.
On Tuesday, April 14, at 6 p.m., the second lecture will feature works from the collection devoted to African art.

The two lectures will be given by the curator of the exhibition, Simona Bartolena, and broadcast live on the website and Youtube channel of the Fortress of Bard.
