‘RODIN’S CONTEMPORARIES’ AT BENTON

AVV 9-11 #712028

STORRS, CONN. — The William Benton Museum of Art presents the exhibition, “Rodin’s Contemporaries,” on view through December 16.

The visual arts in France from the late Nineteenth to early Twentieth Centuries were varied, innovative and revolutionary, changing the course of Western art in the Twentieth Century. Auguste Rodin (1840–1917) created his sculptural masterpieces during this era and, as a complement to the exhibition of his sculpture, 15 works by his contemporaries will be exhibited, including Camille Pissarro’s lithograph, “The Firewood Gatherers”; Théodule Ribot’s dramatically dark and realist painting, “Portrait of an Old Woman;” and Alphonse Legros’ “The Aged Spaniard.” 

The William Benton Museum Of Art is at the Storrs campus of University of Connecticut at 245 Glenbrook Road. For more information, www.Benton.UConn.edu or 860-486-4520.
