The EXHIBITIONS page

We are extending our coverage of exhibitions that treat of our period, the ‘long’ fin-de-siècle 1880-1914, looking chiefly at those that deal with the relevant themes of Symbolism, late Pre-Raphaelitism, Decadence, Art & Crafts and Art Nouveau, but stepping outside our boundaries from time to time. 

 

This will take a while to build up, and to get the format quite right, and as always we welcome news from our readers of exhibitions in their local museums and galleries: this include exhibitions devoted to the writers or composers of the period.  We will also include other arts news, either here or under Publications and Papers or The Critic as Critic.  University readers might like to draw the attention of colleagues in their Department of Art History to this.

 

New exhibitions will be given as a rolling list, the latest ones being added each month, old ones being removed on expiry.  For exhibitions (and other matter) concerned with James McNeill Whistler, see our supplement NOCTURNE.

The Louis Couperus Museum (http://www.couperusmuseum.org/) is currently hosting ‘Turf in je ransel. Den Haag als garnizoensstad in het werk van Louis Couperus’, an exhibition about the military’s prominent presence in the writer’s hometown of The Hague.  Couperus grew up in a neighbourhood that held no less than three barracks, and army officers feature frequently in his novels. The exhibition shows paintings, prints and engravings documenting life in The Hague’s three army barracks as well as artefacts of military life around 1900 and personal documents about, or belonging to, Louis Couperus.

 

The exhibition runs from 18th November 2006 until 29th May 2007 and is set up in conjunction with another exhibition about the development of the military genre in the nineteenth century which will be held in the Haags Gemeentemuseum (http://www.gemeentemuseum.nl) from 23rd December 2006 until 9th April 2007.
