www.phillipscollection.org/event/2025-02-22-timeless-mucha-magic-line
Organised by The Mucha Foundation
The exhibition reappraises the work of Art Nouveau pioneer Alphonse Mucha (b. 1860, Ivančice, Moravia, Austrian Empire; d. 1939, Prague, Czechoslovakia) and explores his impact on graphic art since the 1960s. 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: 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.

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: 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.

The National Art Gallery of the Manx Museum in Douglas
www.archibaldknoxforum.com
Organised by Manx National Heritage and the Archibald Knox Forum
The exhibition, described as the world's largest presentation of works by Archibald Knox, features over 200 works by the Manx artist from collections across the British Isles, including pieces of silverware, pewter and jewellery, alongside rarely seen paintings, sketches, manuscripts, ceramics, textiles and furniture.
Jointly curated by Manx National Heritage and the Archibald Knox Forum, the show offers visitors the unique experience of delving into the artistic creation of the leading exponent of the ?British Celtic Revival' design style of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, while exploring his home country of the Isle of Man, to which Knox's work was intimately attached.
The opening of the exhibition will be punctuated by a seminar on 5 and 6 April at the Manx Museum. Conferences by Stephen Martin and Anthony Bernbaum, two of the world's best experts on Archibald Knox's life and work, focused on the artist's Cymric style, and the mythical and symbolic influence of Manx culture and history on his work.
