Museum of Fine Arts, Boston July 22–November 5, 2017 This exhibition celebrates the MFA’s unparalleled holdings of works by Charles Sheeler (1883–1965), presenting 40 photographs from three significant series created during the heyday of his career as a founder of American modernism. Side of White Barn, Bucks County, Pa., 1915. (Charles Sheeler/The Lane Collection, courtesy of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) After enjoying success as a painter, Sheeler initially took up photography as a way to make a living.   Buggy, Doylestown, Pa., 1917. (Charles Sheeler/The Lane Collection, courtesy of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) His experiments with the medium included the 1916-17 series of photographs capturing various elements of an 18th-century house he rented in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. The sequence of stark, geometric compositions was among the most abstract and avant-garde work being made in the US at the time—created in response to the Cubist art of Picasso and Bra...

Van Gogh Museum 7 July - 10 September 2017 The exhibition ' Van Gogh, Rousseau, Corot: In the Forest' combines wooded views and landscapes by Vincent van Gogh with those of such painters as Théodore Rousseau and Camille Corot. These French artists were among those who retreated to the Forest of Fontainebleau in order to paint the unspoiled landscape. They favoured motifs such as trees, vegetation and the play of light and shade on the foliage and the ground. Trees, woodland and undergrowth Van Gogh, too, worked as much as possible out of doors, in the midst of nature, invariably directing his gaze at the trees, woodland and undergrowth. He sought to depict the forest in such a way ‘that one can breathe and wander about in it — and smell the woods’. In this summer presentation, Van Gogh’s paintings are being shown alongside those of Rousseau, Corot and other artists from the collection of the Van Gogh Museum and The Mesdag Collection. The exhibition also features several extraor...

Tate Modern 23 November 2017 – 2 April 2018 Amedeo Modigliani The Little Peasant circa 1918 Oil on canvas support: 1000 x 645 mm frame: 1155 x 810 x 65 mm Presented by Miss Jenny Blaker in memory of Hugh Blaker 1941 This autumn, Tate Modern will stage the most comprehensive Modigliani exhibition ever held in the UK , bringing together a dazzling range of his iconic portraits, sculptures and the largest ever group of nudes to be shown in this country. Although he died tragically young, Amedeo Modigliani (1884–1920) was a ground-breaking artist who pushed the boundaries of the art of his time. Including almost 100 works, the exhibition will re-evaluate this familiar figure, looking afresh at the experimentation that shaped his career and made Modigliani one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. A section devoted to Modigliani’s nudes, perhaps the best-known and most provocative of the artist’s works, will be a major ...
