A French Lens on Art — Modernism Reimagined at the MFA (Part II)

Following the success of our first sold-out tour, we are delighted to offer a second visit in our French Lens on Art series at the Museum of Fine Arts.

This time, we will explore the evolution of modern art through abstraction, tracing how artists gradually moved away from representation toward new visual languages of color, line, and form.

Led in French by Isabelle Slotine, this guided tour through the MFA’s reimagined 20th-century galleries will examine the revolutionary ideas that transformed art during the early decades of the twentieth century.

Through works by artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, Agnes Pelton, Arthur Garfield Dove, Joan Miró, Paul Klee, Alexander Calder, Mark Rothko, and Alberto Giacometti, we will discover how abstraction emerged across Europe and America as artists sought new ways to express spirituality, movement, emotion, and the unseen forces of the modern world.

After the tour, guests are invited to continue the conversation over a drink at the museum café. Isabelle looks forward to answering your questions.

Please be ready at the meeting point at 2:15 p.m. so the tour can begin at 2:30 p.m. sharp.

Meeting point: Inside the MFA, next to the Sharf Visitor Center desk.
