Guggenheim Hermitage Museum

During the last half of the 19th century, a new generation of artists began to defy traditional conventions of painting and acceptable subject matter. This artistic revolution, initiated by Edouard Manet and the Impressionists, would lead to the radical expansion of the range of formal approaches for artists even as they continued to paint traditional subjects. Now you can explore this revolutionary period for yourself with Modern Masters from the Guggenheim Collection. This exhibition presents treasured masterpieces from artists such as Manet, Picasso, van Gogh, and Cézanne, that chart their experimental interpretations of the academic themes of portraiture, landscape, still life, and genre.
