Impressionists from Johannesburg Art Gallery arrive in Conegliano: work from Monet onward on display

After making stops in Monza and <a href=“/flash-news/2620n_exhibition-<a href=”https://www.finestresullarte.info/arte-base/impressionisti-chi-erano-principali-artisti-impressionismo“>impressionists</a>-johannesburg-palazzo-ducale-genova.php” target=“_blank”>Genova, the Italian tour of the Johannesburg Art Gallery’s masterpieces continues: from October 11, 2019 to February 2, 2020, they will be featured in the exhibition From the Impressionists to Picasso. Masterpieces from the Johannesburg Art Gallery, set up at Palazzo Sarcinelli in Conegliano (Treviso). Slightly different title than the exhibitions in Monza and Genoa, substance unchanged: the exhibition brings to Veneto a nucleus of works from the South African gallery, which was established thanks to the substantial donations made by South African collectors sensitive to art, with the intention of promoting the museum as a cultural center of reference for their country. Core is the bequest of Lady Florence Phillips, a great collector who secured masterpieces by European artists working in the late 19th and mid-20th centuries.

The Conegliano exhibition brings sixty works from the period to Palazzo Sarcinelli, and it is not just about Impressionists such as Claude Monet, who will undoubtedly be a major player: works by William Turner, Gustave Courbet, Paul Cézanne, Andy Warhol and many others will be on view. Therefore, the exhibition also aims to be a tool for interpreting the evolution of European painting between the end of the 19th century and the first half of the following century. The aim of the exhibition is then also to break out of the classical patterns of an exhibition on the Impressionists to investigate the developments that followed their revolution.

From the Impressionists to Picasso. Masterpieces from the Johannesburg Art Gallery opens Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. For information, visit www.artika.it.
