1900: Art at the Crossroads
Guggenheim Museum, New York
The advent of the 20th
century saw the
proliferation of a multitude
of artistic currents. 1900:
Art at the Crossroads
presents a
comprehensive, pluralistic
view of this moment with
some 250 works by more
than 170 artists from 26
countries. The exhibition
offers a fresh look at
Impressionists and
Post-Impressionists alongside those young
proponents of the avant-garde who would
become the avatars of Modernism Henri
Matisse, Piet Mondrian, Pablo Picasso.
1900 also extends to more conservative figures
such as William-Adolphe Bouguereau, born in
1825 but still espoused by academicians at the
turn of the century, as well as to the stylistically
divergent production of a vast array of other
individuals acclaimed in their lifetimes but
little-known today. This retrospective glance at
cultural production circa 1900 reveals that the
ideals, developments, and problems that
signaled the dawn of the 20th century had a
defining impact on our culture one hundred years
later.
