Beyond Impressionism: Printmaking from Manet to Picasso at Holburne Museum

More than 50 prints by impressionist, post-impressionist, and cubist artists go on display at the Holburne Museum in Bath in an exhibition titled Beyond Impressionism. The show highlights how painters like Édouard Manet, Vincent van Gogh, and Paul Gauguin revived printmaking, which had fallen out of fashion by the mid-19th century. Director Chris Stephens conceived the exhibition after seeing Gauguin woodcuts at Frieze Masters in London. Works span from the 1850s to the 1930s, drawn from public collections including the Courtauld Gallery and Ashmolean, as well as private collections. Highlights include Manet's 1872 lithograph of Berthe Morisot, Whistler's etchings of Venice and London, Van Gogh's Gardener By an Apple Tree, Toulouse-Lautrec's lithographs, and Picasso's minotaur etchings. The exhibition runs from 23 May to 13 September. Concurrently, The Transience of Light at the Victoria Art Gallery features landscape prints by Norman Ackroyd from 22 May.
