NEW YORK, NY.- The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum presents Divisionism/Neo-Impressionism: Arcadia and Anarchy, the first exhibition in the United States to focus on Italian Divisionism—a style so named for its painting technique, which employed the “division” of vibrant color through brushstrokes—and to examine its relationship to French Neo-Impressionism, on view through August 6, 2007. The exhibition comprises approximately forty paintings drawn from major museums and private collections by the masters of Italian Divisionism, including Giovanni Segantini, Angelo Morbelli, and Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo, together with significant Neo-Impressionist paintings by Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, and Camille Pissarro, among others. Divisionism/Neo-Impressionism situates the Italian Divisionists within an international context alongside the major proponents of Neo-Impressionism.
