Impressionists masterpieces exhibition reopens at Fortress of Bard. There is time until June 24

The Fortress of Bard has reopened the exhibition Masterpieces from the Johannesburg Art Gallery. From the Impressionists to Picasso, suspended by the health emergency. The exhibition was originally scheduled to close on June 2, but has now been extended until June 24.

The exhibition features a selection of 64 masterpieces from the Johannesburg Art Gallery’s collection of more than 100 works including oils, watercolors, and graphics, bearing the signatures of artists such as Degas, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Corot, Boudin, Courbet, Monet, Van Gogh, Mancini, and Signac. Plus works by Picasso, Bacon, Liechtenstein, Warhol, up to the most recent protagonists of the South African art scene, first and foremost William Kentridge. This is an exhibition that has already toured several cities in Italy: Monza, Genoa, Conegliano and beyond.

A series of works that allow a real journey through the history of art of the 19th and 20th centuries, ranging fromEurope to the United States to South Africa. Particularly rich and unprecedented is the section of the exhibition devoted to contemporary African art: an opportunity to encounter a pictorial reality little known to the European public. The exhibition is curated by art historian Simona Bartolena.

For all information you can visit the official website of the Fortress of Bard.
