The MFAHouston will be the only museum getting this exhibit. Hell yeah. this exhibit is being hyped and talked about and advertised all over the world man. very cool.

here is a quote

"This will be a virtual who´s who of 19th- and early 20th-century French art," said Peter C. Marzio, director of the MFAH. "The exhibition will be a spectacular opportunity for the public of this region to enjoy this unrivaled collection of French paintings. The key phrase here is high quality. It doesn´t get any better than this. It´s a stellar exhibition.

Among the most outstanding paintings are Manet´s Boating (1874)

 

Monet´s La Grenouill?re (1869)

 

and Bridge over a Pool of Water Lilies (1899)

 

, and Degas´s The Dancing Class (probably 1871).

Highlights from the Post-Impressionist period include C?zanne´s The Gulf of Marseilles Seen from L´Estaque (c. 1885), Paul Gauguin´s mystical Ia Orana Maria (Hail Mary) (1891)

 

and Vincent van Gogh´s expressive Cypresses (1889). Works by Pierre Bonnard and Edouard Vuillard represent the Nabis movement, and works by Henri Matisse, including Reclining Odalisque (1926)

and a selection of Pablo Picasso´s paintings on the cusp of Cubism round out the exhibition.

I have not been to NYC since iw as about 7 years old. I need to head back. About two or three years ago when the MOMA was remodeling, they sent an exhibition titled th HEROIC CNETURY to Houstojn and Berlin, and because of this the MET has seen fit to grace our city with these fantastic works. that is cool. ART! I LOVE ART!
