An exhibition bringing together some of the most influential figures of modern art—among them Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Wassily Kandinsky and René Magritte—will open this evening at Casa Cavazzini, Udine’s Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art.
Titled “Impressionism and Modernity: Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso, Kandinsky, Magritte. Masterpieces from the Kunst Museum Winterthur,” the exhibition will run from Jan. 30 through Aug. 30, 2026. It presents 84 works on loan from the Kunst Museum Winterthur in Switzerland, one of Europe’s most important collections of art from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The exhibition traces the evolution of modern art over more than five decades, moving from Impressionism and Post-Impressionism to abstraction and Surrealism. Alongside paintings by Monet and Van Gogh, the show includes works by Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, Piet Mondrian, Paul Klee, Max Ernst, Giorgio de Chirico and other leading figures who reshaped European art between the 1880s and the mid-20th century.
Opening hours are Tuesday to Thursday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, and Friday to Sunday from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm.
