Storie dell’Impressionismo

I grandi protagonisti da Monet a Renoir, da Van Gogh a Gauguin

The exhibition marks the 20^th anniversary of the career of art historian and curator Marco Goldin’s activity. Unfortunately, as with all of the ambitious curators’ exhibitions, this beautiful show has no text, captions or information in English and is aimed at an Italian audience. I am surprised that with all the cost involved in producing such a big exhibition, that the City of Treviso and the sponsors do not aspire also, to a wider international audience.
