Edouard Vuillard: A Painter and His Muses, 1890-1940

During Edouard Vuillard's lifetime, Paris was the capital of the international avant-garde, the laboratory of new styles in art, music, poetry, and prose. Vuillard was at the heart of this creative ferment. In these decades, vanguard artists were supported by collectors, gallerists, publishers, and theater impresarios who encouraged modernist cultural experiments. Vuillard had unusually close and sustained relationships with his patrons; some became intimate and lifelong friends. In this glittering cultural milieu he became romantically involved with two fascinating women, Misia Natanson and Lucy Hessel—his patrons and muses.

Including more than 50 paintings–a quarter of which have never been exhibited publicly in America before–the exhibition explores the crucial role played by the patrons, dealers and supporters who comprised Vuillard’s circle and traces the entire arc of Vuillard’s career, in which he pursued painterly experimentation in color, media, and ambience, especially in portraiture. Experimental, yet deeply committed to the old masters throughout his life, Vuillard maintained a continual tension in his work between tradition and modernism.

This application includes audio that features interviews with the exhibition curator and Marc Salz, the son of Vuillard’s American art dealer, Madame Claude Dalsace who was portrayed by Vuillard, and the scholars Dr. Richard Brettell, Dr. Elizabeth Easton, and Dr. Gloria Groom. Selected images of major works in the exhibition are also included.

Heinrich Kuehn and His American Circle: Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Steichen
This is the first New York museum show to focus on Heinrich Kuehn (1866-1944), an often overlooked but central figure in turn-of-the-century art circles, whose photographs were exhibited at the Vienna Secession. Born into a wealthy family in Dresden, Kuehn was a member of Vienna’s Camera Club and strove to elevate photography to an art form.

Heinrich Kuehn and His American Circle: Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Steichen features over 100 photographs by Kuehn and also works by Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) and Edward Steichen (1879-1973). Under the influence of the American photographers, Kuehn shifted from making large landscapes taken under dramatic lighting conditions and focused more on scenes of daily life shot under normal light. He also began creating intimate studio and open-air studies of family and close friends, frequently photographed using clothes especially made for these occasions.

This application includes audio that features interviews with the exhibition’s curator, Monika Faber, director of the Photoinstitut Bonartes, and commentary from the director of the Neue Galerie New York, Renée Price.
