After Impressionism: Inventing Modern Art opens at the National Gallery this week featuring 97 works – 32% of which are from private collections so are rarely seen, this and the fact that the exhibition features some of the most important works of art created between 1886 and around 1914 make this a must-see exhibition.
A major new exhibition of around a hundred paintings and sculptures by artists such as Cezanne, Van Gogh, Rodin, Picasso, Matisse, Klimt, Käthe Kollwitz, Sonia Delaunay, Kandinsky and Mondrian opens at the National Gallery next March.
