When: Wednesday May 1, 2024
Where: Museum of Fine Arts, 1380 Sherbrooke St West.
This exhibit is the first to set the works of American painter Georgia O’Keeffe in dialogue with that of British sculptor Henry Moore. This large-scale exhibition draws new parallels between the lives and art of these two 20th century icons and pioneers of modern art. Through over 120 works, together with recreations of each artist’s studio, it retraces the evolution of their artistic practices and underscores the profound influence the natural world had on their work.
