Degas to Picasso



Selected Masterpieces from the Collection of the Pushkin Museum, Moscow

The uniquely significant exhibition is open till April 25, so for those who do not want to miss the special occasion, approximately 10 days left to visit the exposition in the Museum of Fine Arts. The show includes 55 paintings from the collection of Pushkin Museum, Moscow. Visitors can recognize the most famous pieces of Courbet, Corot, Degas, Manet, Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, Cézanne, Matisse and Picasso and others, which are obviously well-known for most of us from art albums. Most of these works are presented in Hungary for the very first time.

The paintings supply visitors with a chronological overview of Impressionism,  Symbolism, and the first avant-garde movements, such as Fauves and Cubists. Thus, guests can study a selection of French paintings from the late 19th century and from the beginning of the 20th century.

It is interesting to note, that the exhibited works of art originate from the collections of two exceptional Russian art collectors, Ivan Morozov and Sergei Shchukin. These two art dealers belonged to the new burgeois class of the late 19th century Russia and devoted a significant amount of their fortune and time to support unrecognized artists, who were not accepted by their contemporaries that time. Due to their graceful activity, masterpieces, like Picasso's Acrobat and Young Harlequin or Monet's Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies await visitors now in the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest.
