El Greco and 2 exhibitions

Metropolitan Museum of Art - MET, New York

El Greco
October 7, 2003–January 11, 2004
Special Exhibition Galleries, 2nd floor

This major retrospective exhibition consists of approximately 70 works by the great 16th-century painter Domenikos Theotokopoulos, known to posterity as El Greco. The works span the whole of his career, from his origins as a painter of icons in his native Crete to his work in Venice and Rome and his definitive move to Toledo, Spain. There are sections devoted to his depiction of saints, a selection of his large-scale altarpieces, a representation of his work as a sculptor, his rare excursions into mythological themes, and an extraordinary selection of his psychologically intense portraits, so greatly admired by Velázquez.

Please note that strollers are not permitted in the special exhibition galleries for "El Greco."

Accompanied by a catalogue.

The exhibition is funded by the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation in celebration of its 25th Anniversary.
The exhibition has been organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the National Gallery, London.
An indemnity has been granted by the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.


Crossing the Channel: British and French Painting in the Age of Romanticism
October 8, 2003–January 4, 2004
Special Exhibition Galleries, The Tisch Galleries, 2nd floor

Some 100 paintings and 35 works on paper by such artists as Constable, Turner, Delacroix, and Gericault chart the rich cultural exchanges between France and Britain between 1820 and 1840. A selection of major works that created a dialogue between the two national schools emphasizes artistic affinities in terms of subject, technique, and theoretical approaches, showing that British art made a defining contribution to French Romanticism.
Accompanied by a catalogue.

The exhibition is made possible by United Technologies Corporation.
The exhibition was organized by Tate Britain, in association with The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Minneapolis Institute of Arts.

Hudson River School Visions: The Landscapes of Sanford R. Gifford
October 8, 2003–February 8, 2004
The Erving and Joyce Wolf Gallery, 1st floor

Only the second retrospective of this Hudson River School master's work since the Metropolitan's memorial exhibition in 1880, this exhibition includes nearly 70 paintings of sites in America, Europe, and the Middle East. Gifford's taste for radiant light and aerial effects distinguishes his landscapes from the work of his contemporaries and manifests a personal and poetic strain anticipating later trends in American art. Among subjects with which he was especially identified are those of the Catskill Mountains and the Hudson River, dreamily transfigured or poignantly charged by his distinctive vision.
Accompanied by a catalogue.

The exhibition is made possible by Deedee and Barrie Wigmore.
The exhibition is organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the National Gallery of Art, Washington.


Jackson Pollock Studies: El Greco
September 30, 2003–January 11, 2004
Robert Wood Johnson Jr. Gallery for Drawings and Prints, 2nd floor

This installation of six of Jackson Pollock's vigorous, schematic drawings after El Greco coincides with the major El Greco exhibition currently on view at the Metropolitan Museum. The drawings, in graphite and colored pencils and dating about 1937–39, belonged to one of three Pollock sketchbooks in the Museum's collection.
