The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts will present an exhibition, A History of Impressionism: Great French Paintings from the Clark, running from October 12, 2012 to January 20, 2013.
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute holds one of the greatest collections of French Impressionism in North America with 74 paintings by Bonnard, Corot, Degas, Gauguin, Manet, Millet, Monet, Morisot, Pissarro, Sisley, Toulouse-Lautrec and other French masters.
The collection also includes a selection of 21 paintings by Renoir, and Degas’s famous sculpture Little Dancer Aged Fourteen, which provides an excellent history of Impressionism from its beginnings until the dawn of Postimpressionism.
On January 20 to May 13, 2012, the museum will also be holding a major retrospective of American artist Lyonel Feininger, who lived most of his life in Germany.
Pop artist Tom Wesselmann will be the subject of an exhibition at the MMFA from May 18 to October 7, 2012.
