Post-Impressionism: Beyond Appearances

Louvre Abu Dhabi | اللوفر أبوظبي
About this episode

Today, we’re exploring the exhibition “Post-Impressionism. Beyond Appearances” with Aisha AlAhmadi, Curatorial Assistant at Louvre Abu Dhabi.

This extraordinary show brings together iconic masterpieces from the Post-Impressionist period, with exceptional loans from Musée d’Orsay, featuring works by visionary artists like Van Gogh, Cézanne, Gauguin, Seurat, and many others.

But Post-Impressionism is also the fascinating story of a new generation. Join us as we learn about a group of young artists who paved the way for some of the most influential artistic movements of the 20th century by redefining the rules of art as we knew it.

The exhibition “Post-Impressionism. Beyond Appearances” is on show at Louvre Abu Dhabi from 16 October 2024 to 9 February 2025.

“On Show” is a podcast produced by the Louvre Abu Dhabi.

Our warm thanks to Aisha AlAhmadi for her kind participation.
