National Gallery of Australia in Canberra will host an exceptional art exhibition in December this year. The collection comes straight from Musee d’Orsay, the prestigious Museum that hosts most of the Impressionist paintings in Paris, France. Its collection is lent to Australia then Japan while the museum undergoes a one year renovation project.
The masterpieces will be exposed to the Australian public in Canberra for the first time.
“There is Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night, Portrait of Of Eugene Boch and Portrait of the Artist, there is Paul Cezanne’s The Bathers and Paul Gauguin’s Portrait of the Artist with Yellow Christ, all with an incongruous orange sticker. Gauguin’s Tahitian Women is already on the floor. These are among the 114 paintings, examples of some of the finest Post-Impressionism, that will be on display over four months in Canberra from December 4 before touring Tokyo and San Francisco.”
