Kimbell Museum of Art Kimbell Museum of Art This is the first-ever exhibition devoted to Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s brilliantly expressive preparatory models in clay.

Marie Laurencin

1 1883-1956

Musée Marmottan Monet Some 90 works will be assembled as part of the Musée Marmottan Monet’s exhibition devoted to the painter Marie Laurencin, who, during the first part of the 20th century, was popular for the elegance and softness of her brush- strokes.

She excelled in the female portrait with an acute sense of modernity at the time of Art Déco, with a palette comprising of shades of grey, blue and ochre, outlined in black. 2 3
