1999-11-12 until 2000-01-09
Frick Art and Historical Center
Pittsburgh, PA, USA United States of America

The exuberant world of fin-de-siecle Paris comes to life in this exhibition of 122 extraordinary prints selected from the Philadelphia Museum of Art's important collection. Over 33 artists are represented, including: Toulouse-Lautrec, Pissarro, Cassatt, Degas, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Redon, and Bonnard.

Late 19th-century Parisian painters experimented freely with new developments in printmaking and worked closely with skillful printmakers and publishers to produce some of the most beautiful color prints ever made. Posters, song sheet covers, and magazine supplements are among the works that illustrate Paris in the 1890s -- its domestic scenes, city life, entertainers, bourgeoisie, and workers.

Admission is FREE. Hours: Tuesday - Saturday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Sunday, 12 - 6. Closed Mondays. Free, docent-led tours are offered Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m.
