FROM MONET TO KANDINSKY is an exploration of the art world during the late 19th - the early 20th century when culture and society were going through a tumultuous revolution. Every year new inventions were brought to the daily life - gramophones, movie theaters, typewriters, electricity, airplanes, telephones, X-ray. At the same time the industrial revolution shocked the world with political overthrows and wars. In that time the new art movements like expressionism, abstract art, surrealism, and suprematism emerged. They were later united under a term “modernism”.
Modernist’s paintings often contain secret details, hidden from our initial viewing, encouraging us to investigate further. Finding new meaning in the chaos and nonsense around us. A hundred years ago the art of modernists was the first glimpse of the technological future. Today the paintings are seen in a new light.
River City Bangkok, as Asia’s premier antiques and arts center on the Chaophraya River is thrilled to present this unique and immersive exhibition of the world’s most renowned artists. Nineteen artists brought together in one place, the exhibition will inspire art enthusiasts and delight those new to the art world.
