By the end of the first decade of the 20th century Paris had increasingly become the magnetic center for modernism, attracting countless artists from Russia to America, as well as virtually every European country. It is this internationalism which defines the School of Paris.

David E. Brauer discusses the paintings of Modigliani (born in Italy), Soutine (born in Lithuania), and Utrillo (born in France) who was arguably the greatest painter of the buildings and streets of Paris, and shows how these three artists, in their different ways, became the most representative and popular, albeit sometimes tragic, figures of the School of Paris.

Please allow extra time for parking on Saturday, September 25 as it is Museum District Day.

Lectures are free with museum admission and open to the public. A reception to meet the speaker follows each program.
