From Monet to Kandinsky. Revolutionary Art

From Monet to Kandinsky. Revolutionary Art

An inter­na­tion­al best­seller exhi­bi­tion fea­tur­ing works of ten great artists of XIX-XX cen­turies in mul­ti­me­dia for­mat. After big suc­cess in Ger­many, Rus­sia and Thai­land now on dis­play in Switzer­land. A jour­ney through the most impor­tant art move­ments at the turn of the XIX-XX cen­tu­ry when a rev­o­lu­tion hung notice­ably in the air. The polit­i­cal upheavals and wars shook soci­ety to the core. At the same time, the achieve­ments of the indus­tri­al rev­o­lu­tion changed every­day life. New inven­tions were pre­sent­ed every year: tele­graph, daguerreo­type, radio, elec­tric­i­ty, air­planes, etc. Dur­ing this tur­bu­lent peri­od, many new art move­ments emerged which were lat­er sum­ma­rized under the head­ing of “mod­ernism”.
The rapid devel­op­ment of art can be expe­ri­enced with works of 10 remark­able mas­ters of mod­ernism in a unique com­bi­na­tion of HD pro­jec­tions, ani­mat­ed graph­ics and music. Claude Mon­et, Georges Seu­rat, Paul Gau­g­in, Vin­cent van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, Juan Gris, Robert Delau­nay, Edvard Munch, Paul Klee and Wass­i­ly Kandin­sky — they all shared the desire to lift art into new spheres and to find new mean­ing­ful visu­al forms of expres­sion in order to be able to cap­ture the tremen­dous upheavals of their time.
The inno­v­a­tive, holis­tic art instal­la­tion allows vis­i­tors to immerse them­selves in the world of extra­or­di­nary paint­ings for almost an hour. The mul­ti­me­dia for­mat is mak­ing the dream of many mod­ernists of com­bin­ing paint­ing and music a real­i­ty. The exhi­bi­tion is also an edu­ca­tion­al plat­form. Before enter­ing the mul­ti­me­dia show, vis­i­tors can study the con­text of the time in the ante­room and view impor­tant events and ideas and under­stand how these have changed the visu­al arts. Use­ful infor­ma­tion about pal­lets and the key ideas of art move­ments, as well as inter­est­ing facts about painters and their works, are pre­sent­ed in an acces­si­ble manner.
