Posted by dulcerodrigues on April 3, 2011

Paul Gauguin, Maker of Myth
The exhibition on Gauguin was organized by Tate Modern in association with the National Gallery of Art of Washington and would be over on January 16, 2011.
The works displayed covered Gauguin’s work from every period (c. 1880–1903): paintings, watercolors, pastel, drawings, and prints, ceramic and wooden sculptures, and other genres like still life and landscapes. |

Canaletto and his Rivals
As to the exhibition on Canaletto, which would as well run until January 16 only, it presented a fine assembly of his Venetian views and also key works by his 18th-century rivals, like his nephew Bernardo Bellotto and Francesco Guardi, a real threat during the final decade of Canaletto’s life. |
