Masterpiece Replayed: Monet, Matisse and More Comes To Phoenix Art Museum

Phoenix Art Museum is one of only two museums in the world to host this special international exhibition exploring the significance of artistic repetition through the art of eleven renowned French masters. The show will feature 76 paintings, pastels, drawings, prints, photographs and sculptures lent by several of the foremost collections from around the world, including Musée du Louvre in Paris, the National Gallery in London and the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Featuring influential masters of early modernism (1790s–1930s), the exhibition includes works by Jacques-Louis David, Eugène Delacroix, Jean-Dominique Ingres, Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas and Henri Matisse. Masterpiece Replayed will explore the motivations for repetition. Visitors will learn why artists repeated themselves, how they technically achieved self-repetition and what the possible meanings associated with repetition are in modern painting. Highlights include four versions of Jacques-Louis David’s famed Death of Marat and Paul Cézanne's drawings, oil sketches, paintings and color prints by on the theme of male bathers.
