Stockholm.- The Modern Museet is proud to present “Turner, Monet, Twombly: Later Paintings” on view at the museum from October 8th through January 15th 2012. J. M. W. Turner (1775-1851), Claude Monet (1840-1926) and Cy Twombly (1928-2011) are three of the greatest painters of the last 150 years. This groundbreaking exhibition focuses on their later work, examining not only the art historical links and affinities between them but also the common characteristics of and motivations underlying their late style. All three artists were considered radical in their time and met with negative comment when pushing the boundaries of the conventions of painting. Their late work has a looseness and an intensity that comes from the confidence of age, when notions of finish and completion are modified.
