Experience the Historic Inspiration of Paris [II] Exhibition at Michel Mejuto Gallery

This exhibition explores the influence of Impressionism, Symbolism, and Post-Impressionism on the work of prominent Basque artists who spent time in Paris during the late 19th century. Through their canvases, the exhibition highlights the introduction of avant-garde European art movements into the local artistic scene.

The Inspiration of Paris [II] examines the transformative impact that the French capital's radical art movements had on a group of artists including Alberto Arrúe, Quintín de Torre, Darío de Regoyos, Francisco Iturrino, and Juan de Echevarría. Towards the end of the 19th century, these artists directed their vision toward the progressive plastic currents gestating in Paris, often establishing ateliers in the city to immerse themselves in new aesthetic developments. Their collective efforts were not always understood by their contemporaries at the time, yet they were fundamental in introducing a new way of observing and interpreting the world through art. By exploring how these painters synthesized the innovations of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, the exhibition underscores the pivotal role this generation played in the subsequent renewal and modernization of the artistic landscape.
