French Moderns: Monet To Matisse, 1850-1950

FRENCH MODERNS: MONET TO MATISSE, 1850 - 1950 is the handsome catalogue to the eponymous exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery (to May 20). Touring show and catalogue originate with the Brooklyn Museum and survey the development of the avant-garde in France at a time when Paris was the centre of art innovation and production in the West. Featured artists range from Corot to Léger and from Cézanne to Tanguy. With illuminating text by curators Richard Aste and Jai Imbrey.
