GAUGUIN'S WORLD: TŌNA IHO, TŌNA AO & CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL
- Durata: 2 Giorni (circa)
- Luogo: Canberra
Gauguin’s World: Tōna Iho, Tōna Ao includes over 130 works of art drawn from 68 leading public and private collections worldwide including: Musée d'Orsay, Paris; National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh; National Gallery of Art, Washington; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Cleveland Museum of Art; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Louvre Abu Dhabi; The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo.
Through painting, drawing, engraving, sculpture and the decorative arts, curator and former director of the Louvre Museum and Musée d’Orsay, Henri Loyrette, traces the trajectory of the artist’s distinctive works, from his impressionist beginnings to Polynesian visions. The exhibition will reveal that Gauguin belonged to the art and themes of his time and how contemporary perspectives can enable new readings of his work.
Our itinerary has been designed to allow ample time to appreciate this fabulous exhibition before being transported to the wintry wonderland of eastern France, where the magic of the holiday season is brought to life through twinkling fairy lights, bubbling pots of melted cheese, cozy fire pits, and steaming mugs of mulled wine. Shop ‘til your heart’s content at stalls filled with beautiful art, craft and spirits from local producers, all while feasting on iconic crêpes, Fondue Savoyarde in a cob (from the French Alps) German hot dogs, Italian pasta in a cheese wheel, Belgian waffles and torched-flamed crème brûlée.
