"Toulouse-Lautrec and La Vie Moderne: Paris 1800-1910" celebrates the work of avant-garde artists living in Paris at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, when the city was the center of creative activity as well as a favorite subject for artists. The work of the Naturalists, the Symbolists, the Incohérents, and the Nabis presented fresh visions of life and society during this important 30-year period of "Modern" French art.

This is the first exhibition to present a kaleidoscopic view of the work of a generation of artists who continued the battle for artistic liberation from Academic standards fought by the Impressionists and Post Impressionists and by artists such as Seurat, Gaugin, and van Gogh.

The exhibition puts the innovative art of these better-known artists into context, revealing that they did not work in isolation. Domestic scenes by Mary Cassat, Paul Helleu and Eugène Carrière are included, along with landscapes by Emile Schuffenecker and Charles Lacoste, Sybolist works by Aristide Maillol and Fernand Khnopff, and cafè scenes by Juan Gris and Jacques Villon. Turn-of-the-century artists like Pierre Bonnard and Toulouse-Lautrec also found alternative means to bring their art to a broad public by illustrating journals, books and theatre programs.

Drawn from Dutch private collections, this groundbreaking exhibition includes 185 works, including paintings, watercolors and drawings; rare zinc shadow puppet silhouettes; illustrated programs for the famous Chat Noir cabaret shadow theatre; and key ephemera for Parisian theatres, circuses, cabarets and cafè-concerts documenting the activities of avant-garde artists.

Visions and Nightmares: Four Centuries of Spanish Drawings

All works: The Morgan Library & Museum, New York All works, unless noted, photography: Graham S. Haber Visions and Nightmares: Four Centuries of Spanish Drawings at the Morgan Library & Museum January 17–May 11, 2014 explores the shifting roles and attitudes toward the art of drawing in Spain, as well as the impact of the Catholic Church and the nightmare of the Inquisition on Spanish artists and their work. It is the first exhibition of Spanish drawings ever to be held at the Morgan Library & Museum, whose holdings in this area are relatively small but strong. The exhibition features more than twenty drawings spanning the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries. Works by well-known artists such as José de Ribera, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, and Francisco Goya are presented alongside sheets by equally talented but less familiar artists, including Vicente Carducho, Alonso Cano, and Eugenio Lucas. Complementing the drawings is a display of contemporary Spanish letters and...
