Chrysalis Airfares

Orsay 1999, Rêve et Réalité September 29, 2008

The most widely publicised visiting exhibition of the season deserves all its hype. The selection of largely 19th- and 20th-century works from the Musée d’Orsay’s massive collection presents a broad cross-section of recent European art history, and is arranged under themed headings, so as to make the subject matter and its evolution more readily comprehensible to local audiences. All the artists you’d expect are here, including Monet, Cézanne, Klimt and Dégas.
