“The works in the exhibition exemplify the avant-garde movements that defined modern art in the 19th and 20th centuries, tracing a shift from capturing the visual to evoking the idea, from an emphasis on naturalism to the rise of abstraction,” the Portland Art Museum said in its announcement.

The traveling artwork comes from the Brooklyn Museum’s renowned European art collection. The exhibit will offer a variety of paintings and sculptures that vary in size, subject matter and style. Other artists featured in the exhibit include Pierre Bonnard, Jean-Léon Gérôme, Jean-François Millet, Odilon Redon and Édouard Vuillard.
