Indepth Arts News: "ModernStarts: Places" 1999-10-28 until 2000-03-14 Museum of Modern Art New York, NY, USA United States of America
Landscape painting between 1880 and 1920 ranged from idealized and allegorical depictions of nature, as
seen in the early paintings of Henri Matisse and André Derain, to the haunting psychological landscapes
by Edvard Munch. The search for an authentic rural culture determined Paul Gauguin's interest in the
exotic and was at the center of the radical call for a return to nature proclaimed by Ernst Ludwig
Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Emil Nolde and Max Pechstein. In contrast, artists such as Claude Monet, Paul
Signac, Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, and Georges Braque appropriated the primal landscape by
increasingly abstracted but fairly straightforward renderings of concrete topographical motifs.
