Description Following on the heels of the remarkable summer exhibition Birth of Impressionism: Masterpieces from the Musée d’Orsay at the de Young is Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cézanne and Beyond: Post-Impressionist Masterpieces from the Musée d’Orsay, on view from September 25, 2010, to January 18, 2011. The exhibition includes over 100 paintings from the Musée d’Orsay’s permanent collection of Post-Impressionist works and highlights the work of preeminent artists including Pierre Bonnard, Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri Rousseau, Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Vincent van Gogh, and Edouard Vuillard, among others. The Musée d’Orsay is lending works from their treasured collections while it undergoes a partial closure for refurbishment and reinstallation in anticipation of the museum’s 25th anniversary in 2011. The de Young is the only museum in North America to host this exhibition and the only museum in the world to host both of the Musée d’Orsay’s masterpiece exhibitions. This particular combination of paintings will never travel again. Tickets go on sale May 22. “Each of these two shows brings together masterpieces that, once they return to the Musée d’Orsay, will never again be loaned out for exhibition as a group,” says Nicolas Sarkozy, President of the French Republic. “I hope they will excite the interest of the American public in order to strengthen further the links between our two countries.” “These two exhibitions present a rare and unique opportunity for Americans to see the evolution and incubation of the Impressionist style from the collection of the most important repository of French 19th- and early 20th-century art––the Musée d’Orsay,” says John E. Buchanan, director of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. “Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cézanne, and Beyond, explores the groundbreaking artistic developments that sprang forth in the wake of the ‘New Painting.’ It is an unparalleled visual experience, one made possible only when the most important repository of French art opens its vaults.” Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cézanne and Beyond: Post-Impressionist Masterpieces from the Musée d’Orsay presents over 100 of the Musée d’Orsay’s most famous late-19th-century paintings, including late Impressionist work by Monet and Renoir, followed by the more individualistic styles of the early modern masters including Cézanne, Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Van Gogh, and room-sized decorative panels by the pioneering Nabis painters, Bonnard and Vuillard. The exhibition also provides a unique look at the Orsay’s spectacular collection of Pointillist painters, including work by Seurat and Signac. Notable works in this exhibition include: * A Dance in the Country by Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1883) * Self Portrait by Vincent van Gogh (1887) * Starry Night over the Rhone by Vincent van Gogh (1888) * The Artist’s Bedroom at Arles by Vincent van Gogh (1889) * Portrait of the Artist with the Yellow Christ by Paul Gauguin (1889) * Tahitian Women, On the Beach by Paul Gauguin (1891) * The Plaid Blouse by Pierre Bonnard (1892) * Still Life with Onions by Paul Cézanne (1895) * The Snake Charmer by Henri Rousseau (1907) Each of the Orsay exhibitions will be accompanied by a catalogue, available at the Museum Stores in softcover ($34.95), hardcover ($55), and in a boxed set featuring hardcovers of both publications with slipcase ($100). An audio tour will be available in the exhibition.
