Passport to Paris

The Denver Art Museum (DAM) will host Passport to Paris, a suite of French-themed exhibitions that will anchor its fall 2013 exhibition schedule. Passport to Paris will focus on French art from the late 1600s to early 1900s and explore changes in art and society during three important centuries in art history. Revealing how art mirrors society, guests will get a sense of the changes that took place from the time of the powerful and absolute monarchy of Louis XIV to the individualistic café society. Included in the fall suite are: Court to Café: Three Centuries of French Masterworks from the Wadsworth Atheneum, Nature as Muse: French Impressionist Landscapes, and Drawing Room: An Intimate Look at French Drawings from the Esmond Bradley Martin Collection.
