‘VAN GOGH AND EXPRESSIONISM’ AT NEUE GALERIE MARCH 22 w/ 2 cuts

avv/gs set 2-13 #688347

NEW YORK CITY — On March 22, Neue Galerie New York will open “Van Gogh and Expressionism,” an exhibition that will explore the crucial influence of Vincent van Gogh on German and Austrian Expressionism.

More than 80 paintings and drawings will be on view, including several major canvases by Van Gogh, as well as important paintings by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Max Beckmann and others. It has been organized by curator Jill Lloyd, the well-known scholar of Expressionism, and will remain on view through July.

“Van Gogh and Expressionism,” which was organized in conjunction with the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, is the first exhibition to explore this subject in depth. One of its aims is to show how Expressionist artists strongly identified with Van Gogh, and how his influence on their work went beyond stylistic similarities. The exhibition and accompanying catalog will also examine the artist’s role in cultural politics before World War I, when he came to symbolize modernity and internationalism.

Neue Galerie New York is at 1048 Fifth Avenue. For information, www.neuegalerie.org  or 212-628-6200.
