News | UK | Sponsorship | Impressionists on Paper at the RA
This year, Gide is delighted to be celebrating the 20th anniversary of our office in London. By way of marking such a wonderful milestone, Gide would like to give something back to this amazing city by supporting something for which it is so well known: its arts and culture.
We are therefore proud to announce our sponsorship of a beautiful new exhibition at London's Royal Academy of Arts, Impressionists on Paper: Degas to Toulouse-Lautrec.
Open until 10 March 2024, this exhibition explores how Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists in late 19th-century France radically transformed the status of works on paper. During this period, there was a crucial shift in the way these works were viewed. Drawings, pastels, watercolours, temperas, and gouaches became increasingly perceived as more than just preparatory techniques and became autonomous works of art, claiming a shared aesthetic with painting.
The exhibition features around 80 works on paper by artists including Mary Cassatt, Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin, Eva Gonzalès, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Odilon Redon, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Georges Seurat, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Vincent van Gogh.
