2 artists, 2 museums, 1 exhibition.

The exhibition proposes a new comparative view of the works of Rodin (1840-1917) and Picasso (1881-1973), who each had a profound and lasting impact on the art of their time and that of the generations to come. The exhibition does not aim to show what Picasso borrowed from Rodin, but rather to explore how elements of Rodin's oeuvre merged with periods in Picasso's artistic career.

Mucha Trust Collection celebrates the first major U.S. tour in 20 years. The exhibition is featuring a vast array of posters, illustrations, ornamental objects, and rarely seen sculpture, photographs, and self-portraits. Additional works from the NCMA's collection highlight the American interpretation of the European aesthetics that influenced Mucha as well as his close friendship with French sculptor Auguste Rodin.

The Mathildenhoehe Institute will celebrate the 150th birthday of Albin Müller (1871-1941) with the exhibition "Albin Müller: Architect, Designer and Teacher ". The show will emphasize Müller's professions as architect- designer and teacher in the years 1900 to 1914.

Muller's 150th birthday coincides with this year's recognition of Mathildenhoehe Darmstadt as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

As a central source of inspiration, the Mathildenhoehe Darmstadt offered Müller unique opportunities to create buildings and spatial art from 1906 onwards. With a further focus on Magdeburg, the exhibition will highlight another city where the artist achieved great success as a teacher at the School of Arts from 1900 to 1906, and as a designer for various companies.

Albin Müller established a productive exchange with colleagues such as Fritz von Heider, as well as former members of the Darmstadt Artists' Colony: Peter Behrens and Paul Bürck. The strong links between the cities of Darmstadt and Magdeburg as German centres of the reform movement are manifested.

"Young Poland: An Arts and Crafts Movement (1890 - 1918)" is the first major exhibition to explore the decorative arts and architecture of Young Poland (Mloda Polska), an extraordinary cultural movement that flourished in response to Poland's invasion and occupation by foreign powers.

The presentation is organised in partnership with the National Museum in Kraków and the Polish Cultural Institute, London. Co-financed by the Polish Minister of Culture, National Heritage and Sport.

The Museum of Modernisme in Barcelona (MMBCN) is reopening its doors for the exhibition "Paris-Barcelona", a large show focusing on nine outstanding women in the artistic scene of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

With more than 300 works, most of them pictorial, as well as sculptures, furniture and decorative arts on display, the exhibition offers a new vision of the relationship between the two capitals: Paris and Barcelona. The tour begins with models such as Madeleine de Boisguillaume, Stéphanie Nantas, Clo-clo, Júlia Peraire and Germaine Gargallo and concludes with the female vision of artists such as Suzanne Valadon, Georgette Agutte, Lucie Cousturier and Olga Sacharoff. It nonetheless attempts to create a dialogue between the models and muses of the day and the artists who immortalised them, such as Ramon Casas, Santiago Rusiñol, Toulouse-Lautrec or Alphonse Mucha.

The exhibition features works from the National Museum of Art of Catalonia, Cau Ferrat in Sitges, Víctor Balaguer Library-Museum, AMYC Foundation and other private collections.

The insllation has been organised to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the gallery, the cultural enterprise of the Pinós-Guirao family.

The presention is accompanied by a publication that reviews the presence of women in the artistic and cultural environment at the turn of the century. The articles highlight the lives of these women, who in most cases have been silenced or little explained.

The last female portrait by Vienna's iconic painter, Gustav Klimt's Lady with Fan gazes seductively and with remarkable self-confidence into the distance. This vibrant painting is on show in Vienna again after more than a century. It will be presented with other examples of Klimt's last works in a special exhibition at the Upper Belvedere.

The exhibition has been exextended until 20 february 2022!

"Gaudí" is an exhibition organized by the National Art Museum of Catalonia and the Musée d'Orsay. It is a large-format presentation  that brings together more than 650 architectural objects, design and furniture, works of art, documentation, plans and photographs.

The Jugendstilforum in Bad Nauheim opens its doors to the public with an exhibition devoted to ceramics.

Among the everyday objects produced by the Jugendstil, ceramics were of particular importance, as they could be produced cheaply and in series. Many people could afford them, and so the new Jugendstil ideas of form and decoration spread, especially with this material, which is the focus of this first exhibition.

On the occasion of his 150th birthday, the exhibition JOSEF HOFFMANN: Progress Through Beauty comprehensively documents for the first time the entire oeuvre of the architect, designer, teacher, and exhibition organizer Josef Hoffmann (1870-1956), one of the luminaries of Viennese Modernism and the international life reform movement. With his indefatigable design work and teaching, Hoffmann cultivated an exemplary model of modern lifestyles based on a construction and product culture that was both shaped by craft and artistically ambitious. The show presents a cross section of Hoffmann's revolutionary design and his most important buildings, including the Stoclet House in Brussels (1905-1911) and the Purkersdorf Sanatorium (1904-1905).

This coming Sunday, March 27th, the Museum will be holding an "Art on Sunday" day, with a range of programming related to the exhibition. The installation has been opened since February 5th, but because of COVID protocols the opening celebrations could not be held until now.

The exhibition is presenting the work that made Alphonse Mucha famous: posters and illustrations, and decorative art designs, all set against the vibrant background of fin-de-siècle Paris. Late nineteenth-century costumes recall the Parisians strolling along the boulevards, and colourful glass from the same period by Émile Gallé and Moser & Sohne show the close relationship between Mucha's work and Art Nouveau. The exhibition also considers the rediscovery of Mucha's work in the 1960s, and how his style resonated in popular culture, flower power and Woodstock, as illustrated in the designs for albums covers and concert posters for bands like Martha & The Vandellas, The Rollings Stones and Pink Floyd. Kunstmuseum Den Haag will show the circumstances in which Alphonse Mucha became, and remains, world-famous.

Enjoy the original posters from the turn of the century (ca. 1900) and discover the differences.

Neue Galerie New York celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the museum this year. The latest presentation of "Austrian Masterworks from the Neue Galerie" features highlights from the museum's extensive collection of Austrian art from the period 1890 to 1940, including major works by Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, Alfred Kubin, and Egon Schiele.

The Réseau Art Nouveau Network presents the online lecture "Helena Vurnik's Decoration of Ljubljana's Most Iconic Art Nouveau Building", by Helena Seražin, which is part of the online lecture series "Women on Stage. Discovering the Artistic Female Contribution to Art Nouveau".

Helena Seražin, (1970) obtained her PhD in 2003 in art history at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana. She works as a Research Adviser at the France Stele Institute of Art History at the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts (UIFS ZRC SAZU) in Ljubljana. As an Assistant Professor she also gave lectures at University of Ljubljana and Faculty of Humanities in Capodistria. A recipient of various scholarships, she visited numerous institutions to perform research at their departments of art history or history of architecture, among them Università Ca' Foscari and IUAV in Venice and Villa I Tatti, The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies in Florence.

In the last period she has led several applied projects related to modernist architecture and 20th-century urbanism, among them she headed the Slovenian partnership in the EU project "Women's Creativity since the Modern Movement - MoMoWo," (2014-2018), an interdisciplinary project co-funded by CREATIVE EUROPE program, www.momowo.eu). Regardless of the leadership of the above, she continuously performs research on early modern art and architecture, centering on profane and sacred architecture and art commissioning in early modern Slovenia and the territory of the Venetian Republic. She is author and editor of several scientific monographs?among them To the fore: female pioneers in Slovenian architecture, civil engineering and design?and periodicals. Among others, she is the president of Slovenian Association of Art Historians.

The lecture is free, but registration is required in advance by sending an email to info@artnouveau-net.eu. You will receive a Zoom link that will allow you to attend the lecture.

The lecture is cheduled on 11 October at 18h.

The exhibition shows "crown jewels" of the Mucha Family Collection, the world's largest and most comprehensive collection of Mucha's work in the world, this exhibition contains over 200 artworks, some of which have never been exhibited before. It looks at the development of Mucha both as an artist and as a man: as a Czech, a European and a world citizen, living through one of the most turbulent times in European history - with lessons that are perhaps more relevant today than ever before.

For the first time the exhibition "Sargent and Spain" presents approximately 120 dazzling oils, watercolors, and drawings, many of which are rarely exhibited. Also featured from the artist's travels are some 28 never-before published photographs, several almost certainly taken by Sargent himself.

Celebrated as the leading society portraitist of his era, John Singer Sargent influenced a generation of American painters. His personal captivation with Spain resulted in a remarkable body of work that documents his extensive travels from the north to the south and to the island of Majorca. Over three decades Sargent responded to the country's rich culture by producing landscapes and marine scenes, pictures of everyday life, and architectural studies, as well as sympathetic portrayals of the locals he encountered.

The exhibition explores the life and work of the English artist and his fundamental contribution to the recognition of the applied arts.
Never before presented in such magnitude in France, the work of the visionary William Morris strongly marked his time by theorizing a social, political, ecological and artistic utopia. He was the main builder of the foundations of what would later be called Arts & Crafts, a movement which defended the presence of art in everything and for everyone in response to the industrialization of craftsmanship.

Featuring a vibrant selection of colour woodblock prints from the collection of the Two Red Roses Foundation; this exhibition includes master artists such as Eliza Draper Gardiner, Frances Gearhart, Edna Boies Hopkins, BJO Nordfeldt, Margaret Jordan Patterson, and many more. "American Arts and Crafts Woodblocks" tells the story of how artists of the time experimented with this medium to make unique and personal interpretations of this technique.

The exhibition presents an outstanding collection of Arthur Wesley Dow's eclectic artwork from the Two Red Roses Foundation. This exhibition features over 60 works including color woodblocks, paintings, and original cyanotypes from the rare Ipswich Days album.

A revered painter, printmaker, photographer, and educator, Dow studied in Paris and taught extensively from the 1880's through the 1910's. As an art educator, Dow's ideas on art were centered on the democratic nature of artistic expression, that art should be part of everyday life and not just enjoyed by the few. His 1899 book Composition: A series of Exercises in Art Structure for the Use of Students and Teachers, teaches students to create harmonious works of art through the elements of the composition, such as line, balance, and color. Dow's many students include photographer Alvin Langdon Coburn, painter Georgia O'Keefe, and the Overbeck sisters, whose works in pottery you can see on MAACM's fourth floor. Dow's Composition is still taught today using his theories of space and design, and his legacy ripples through artistic expression through the 19th and 20th centuries.

Tilla Durieux was a celebrated star of the film and theater, a modern woman of the 1920s, politically active and perhaps the most portrayed woman of her time. The roles of Tilla Durieux (1880-1971) were as varied as the artists for whom she posed as a model, among them Auguste Renoir, Max Slevogt, Lovis Corinth, Franz von Stuck, Charley Toorop, Ernst Barlach, Oskar Kokoschka, Max Oppenheimer and the photographers Lotte Jacobi and Frieda Riess.

This exhibition will focus on the contradictory and dogmatic personality of Feliu Elias (Barcelona, ??1878-1948). An artist with a multifaceted personality in which the painter Elias, the caricaturist Apa, the historian and art critic Joan Sacs and even the "Green Devil", another of his aliases when he signs articles on technique, coexist and painting trades.

The exhibition will present a synthesis of his creative activity, focusing especially on his miniaturist brushwork painting that, within a magical realism, equally exalts his familiar sphere - a humble light bulb, a fried egg, a toile de Jouy, an Elizabethan chair or a mortar- than his daughters or artistic passions, such as Dutch painting, Alfred Sisley or Chinese ceramics. It is a painting that is not subject to major technical evolutions, that remains impassive and faithful to specific themes throughout its entire life, and that radiates its predilection for material culture

The exhibition creates an opulent tableau that offers uniquely rich and complex insights into the fascination of Vienna circa 1900 and the atmosphere of this vibrant period. Comprising some 1,300 items displayed across three floors, this semi-permanent installation presents the splendour and wealth of the artistic and intellectual achievements of this era through masterpieces from the Leopold Museum and notable permanent loan works from Austrian and international collections.

This temporary exhibition was created with the aim of presenting the works and objects that have entered the collections of the three Sitges museums since 2014. This date marked the reopening of the seafront, Cau Ferrat and Maricel museums. Since then the museums have incorporated 1,382 works, objects and documents, of which a selection of 300 are now on display.

Among the works on display are pieces by Picasso, Isidre Nonell, Ramon Casas, Santiago Rusiñol, Olga Sacharoff and Alonso Cano, as well as one of the largest glass collections in Catalonia, which includes pieces from ancient Egypt to the 18th century.

The exhibition presents a journey that traces the painter's growing interest in floral elements. Through Anglada-Camarasa's oils, drawings, photographs, prints and clothing, we can see how flowers became an important element in his paintings and how they shaped his life.
