Modern Art at the NGA – Exploring the “isms” of 20th-century art

This tour is guided by Juliana Biondo

Join this engaging 2-hour guided journey through the East Building of the National Gallery of Art.

Dive into the art that redefined what it meant to see and discover the depth of artistic experimentation of the 20th century.

Explore how artists re-invented color, composition, and form, and how they questioned what is meant to capture the human experience.

Learn about the energized compositions of Paul Cezanne, the Fauvist works of Matisse, the cubist paintings of Pablo Picasso, the surrealist works of Joan Miro, and the abstract expressionist pieces of Jackson Pollock and Helen Frankenthaler.

This itinerary showcases the explosion of artistic activity and reinvention across Paris and New York from the late 1800s to the mid-1900s.

We will be offering this tour as a Small Group Tour, limited to 12 guests, on select dates.

You can also book this tour as a Private Tour. Contact us!
