ART is in the Street
Through an exceptional collection of nearly 300 works, "L'art est dans la rue" explores the spectacular rise of the illustrated poster in Paris during the second half of the 19th century. Organized in partnership with the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the exhibition is the first of its kind on this scale. In fact, no major event in Paris has ever been devoted to this social phenomenon, bringing together so many outstanding works by the "Masters of the Poster". Bonnard, Chéret, Grasset, Mucha, Steinlen, Toulouse-Lautrec... Conceived as an immersion into the visual universe of the 19th century city, the exhibition traces the golden age of the artistic poster, analyzing the social and cultural changes that favored its development, in dialogue with a unique collection of posters, paintings, photographs, costumes, sculptures and decorative objects that evoke the exuberant world of the street at the turn of the century.

Thanks, Terrance, for bringing Pony Ballet by William Glackens to my attention--a beautiful painting. Lesley Bailey
My dear Terrance, Thanks to you, I am presently delving into the biography of another American maverick, Allan Konigsberg. But Dr Barnes’ life should be equally interesting. I was able to go a couple of times to the original museum in Merion, very hard to find in the old days ! —but haven’t been to the “new” location in Philly.Martha Ann Babcock, Delray Beach, FL
The Louvre and d'Orsay

The Louvre visit with Deanna as our guide was one of the highlights of our trip. She is just an excellent guide, so full of information.–Linda Pellerito. Grand Rapids, MI
