It’s all in their newest exhibit Monet to Matisse: French Moderns, 1850–1950, opening Friday. The works span a century of French modern art. While the exhibit stops in Birmingham during its world tour, the Birmingham Museum of Art had the unique opportunity to expand the exhibit with pieces from its own collection, offering 103 total pieces on view. The BMA’s exhibit also highlights the links between Japanese and French art by placing pieces thought to be in conversation with one another together in the gallery. One of the artists Crosland is excited for visitors to meet is Marie Bracquemond, a French impressionist who was not allowed to study formally because she was a woman.
