Through twenty-four works by Ignacio Zuloaga (1870-1945) and twelve by Hermen Anglada-Camarasa (1871-1959), this exhibition lets us enjoy the coincidences and differences between these two painters. In their works, they both depicted the themes so in vogue in the Paris of the times, such as gypsies, Madrid's maja cultural costumes, and landscapes. Despite both artists having a strong and highly similar influences from Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, the divergences between their painterly languages and individual focuses were quite clear.

Exhibition: Times of Change: Egon Schiele's Last Years. 1914-1918
From 28.03.2025 to 13.07.2025
Leopold Museum, Vienna
www.leopoldmuseum.org/en/exhibitions/145/times-of-change
Organised by Leopold Museum
The exhibition "Times of Change" weaves together biographical and artistic elements, focusing on the ruptures and transformations in Egon Schiele's "late works" from 1914 to 1918, a period that has received comparatively little attention until now. During this time, Schiele gradually abandoned the radical formal experiments of 1910 to 1914 and developed a more realistic style characterized by deeper empathy. His linework became calmer, more fluid, and organic, and the figures he depicted gained greater physical fullness. The exhibition also offers new insights into this pivotal period by incorporating contemporary archival materials, such as the previously unpublished diary of Edith Schiele.
Exhibition: L'art est dans la rue (Art Is in the Street)
From 18.03.2025 to 06.07.2025
Musée d'Orsay, Paris
www.musee-orsay.fr/fr/agenda/expositions
Organised by Musée d'Orsay
The Musée d'Orsay's first exhibition devoted to the spectacular development of the illustrated poster in colour in the late nineteenth century.
Including a unique set of works by the masters of poster art, the display shows how this medium was elevated "to the rank of mural painting", as the Nancy art critic Roger Marx once put it. This dive into the golden age of the illustrated poster also focuses on the rise of mass consumption and mass culture, of which poster art was both a vector and a symptom. Drawings, works of art, photographs and paintings all evoke the effervescent world of the street as a stage during the Belle Époque, whose image was in part shaped by these posters.
On show from 18 March to 6 July 2025, the exhibition "Art Is in the Street" is organised in collaboration with the Bibliothèque nationale de France. It is co-curated by Élise Dubreuil, Chief Curator of Decorative Arts at Musée d'Orsay, and Sandrine Maillet, in charge of poster collections at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, as well as Anne-Marie Sauvage, general library curator, and Clémence Raynaud, Chief Curator of Architecture at Musée d'Orsay.

Exhibition: Firing the Imagination: Japanese Influence on French Ceramics, 1860-1910
From 23.08.2024 to 26.05.2025
Philadelphia Museum of Art, PA
www.philamuseum.org/calendar/exhibition/firing-the-imagination
Organised by Philadelphia Museum of Art
This exhibition brings together notable examples of French ceramics that demonstrate tremendous innovation in the field of artistic pottery from the 1860s to 1910s. European artists during this period were deeply influenced by Japanese art, including woodblock prints, ceramics, textiles, and lacquerwares, which poured into Europe following the forced reopening of Japan's ports to foreign trade in the 1850s. Part of a broader cultural phenomenon that came to be known as "Japonisme," artists such as Félix Bracquemond, Ernest Chaplet, Théodore Deck, François Laurin, and Albert-Louis Dammouse incorporated subjects, decorations, and forms inspired by Japanese art into their ceramics while also experimenting with new techniques like barbotine (a method of decorating ceramics with colored clay slips) and glazes imitating highly prized examples of East Asian ceramics.
The works on view come from the collection of Larry A. Simms, a retired New Jersey public schoolteacher who amassed one of the most important private collections of "Japonisme" ceramics in the United States, many of which he has now donated to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

This exhibition provides an opportunity to survey the development of Mucha's style, and to explore how his art was rediscovered by later generations of artists. Mucha was a key influence on Psychedelic Art of the 1960s-1970s, as well as on a wide range of visual culture from the late 20th century to today, exemplified by American comics, Japanese manga, and street murals.

Exhibition: Poster Women: Women's Poster
From 11.10.2024 to 16.02.2025
Wiesbaden Museum
www.museum-wiesbaden.de/en/plakatfrauen-frauenplakat
Organised by Wiesbaden Museum
The theme of the installation is the changing relationship between the poster as an artistic and creative medium and the role played in it by women. Male poster designers from the first heyday of German poster design, from 1905 to 1921 approximately, used woman as a theme and women as models in a variety of ways.
The show and the accompanying exhibition catalogue present a selection from the collections of F. W. Neess and Maximilian Karagöz, showing the diverse public portrayals of women on posters. Works skilfully communicated social ideas of the day on what women should be. They conveyed what behaviour was socially desirable, what freedoms were conceivable, but also which boundaries were non-negotiable.
However, in this time women also designed posters professionally, even when they had to do it in opposition to gender prejudices. Their designs showed the growing confidence of women to move away from one-off handicrafts and small formats to large-format, mass-produced advertisements. It could be said, therefore, that these women championed emancipation through poster design.

Although little known outside her country, Harriet Backer (1845?1932) was the most renowned female artist in late nineteenth-century Norway. A painter, teacher and mentor to painters, she was highly acclaimed for her rich, luminous use of colour, in an eminently personal style that blended interior scenes with open-air painting. She drew inspiration from the realist movement as well as from the innovations of Impressionism, with free brushstrokes and meticulous attention to variations in light. She is also famous for her tender portraits of rural life and her interest in church interiors.
