Join us each Sunday afternoon for one of our introductory lectures. Free of charge, these lectures are the ideal start of an exhibition visit. Modern casts a new light on 19th- and early 20th-century artists and designers who did not want to work only for the elite, but aimed to reach as many people as possible. A story about the connectedness of aesthetics and ethics, which also includes the interactions between European and extra-European art and design. Learn more about this perspective during this introductory lecture, followed by your visit to the exhibition.
With work by Van Gogh, Thonet, Millet, Jozef Israëls, Breitner, Robertson, Valadon, Jan Toorop, William Morris, Berlage, Léger, Cassandre, Krull, Breuer and others, and objects from Morocco, Indonesia and Fiji, among others.
