- Instagram, 🇫🇷 Next month, the French avant-garde comes to Portland! Opening June 8: From the @BrooklynMuseum’s renowned European art collection, “Monet to Matisse: French Moderns” showcases approximately 60 works of modern art produced by the era’s leading artists—those born in France as well as those who studied and showed there. The works in the exhibition exemplify the avant-garde movements that defined modern art in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, tracing a shift from capturing the visual to evoking the idea, from an emphasis on naturalism to the rise of abstraction. “French Moderns” features paintings and sculpture ranging widely in scale, subject matter, and style by artists including Pierre Bonnard, Gustave Caillebotte, Paul Cézanne, Marc Chagall, Edgar Degas, Jean-Léon Gérôme, Henri Matisse, Jean-François Millet, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Odilon Redon, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Auguste Rodin, Édouard Vuillard, and more. 👀 Members see it first on June 7!
