After Impressionism: Inventing Modern Art
25 March-13 August 2023
Rooms 1 to 8
Explore a period of great change when artists broke with established tradition and laid the foundations for the art of the 20th and the 21st centuries.
The decades between 1880 and the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 were a complex, energetic period of artistic questioning, searching, risk-taking and innovation.
The exhibition celebrates the achievements of three giants of the period: Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin and follows the influences they had on younger generations of French artists and on wider circles of artists across Europe.
With over a hundred works by artists ranging from Picasso to Mondrian and a selection of sculptures by artists including Rodin and Camille Claudel the exhibition follows the creation of a new, modern art, free of convention, taking in Expressionism and Abstraction. ‘The exhibition includes some of the most famous works of art created during these decades. Important loans come to the exhibition from institutions and private collections worldwide.

Fighting through pain after running for 28 hours and amid the sound of tired feet struggling through the Arizona dirt — finally soft, soothing (舒缓的) music could be heard over the horizon. The finish line, which was once 100-miles away, was right in front of him. A small, roaring human victory tunnel welcomed Zach Bates as he ran across the finish line.
Diagnosed with autism (自闭症) at the age of four, Bates completed the 100 mile ultramarathon (超级马拉松) earlier this year, becoming the youngest finisher in the race’s history, aged 19. Bates was a member of the cross-country team in high school but, after graduating he surprised his family with a new goal — to run a 100 mile race before his 20th birthday.
Neither Bates nor his parents had any prior experience in preparing for the task at hand, but Brian, his father, found ways to help, truly making it a family affair. In addition to hiking safe trails, they read books together, organized all his nutrition, and made sure their son had the right equipment — like the watch he wore on long runs so they could track him and make sure he was safe and on course. Rana and Brian even helped with training schedules before finding more experienced ultramarathon runners — such as mentor John Hendrix and coach Nickademus de la Rosa. With Hendrix and de la Rosa’s expertise, the young American prepared by competing in shorter distances and successfully worked his way up to the 100miler in a short time.
Rather than having his autism be a reason to make the goal unreachable, his mom said the challenge has helped him stay focused. “If we listen to our children and allow them to do what they want to do and be a support to them, you’ll be so surprised at where they’ll end up,” Rana says.
4. How did Bates probably feel when he ran across the finish line?
A. Tired but cheerful.
B. Proud and overconfident.
C. Painful but peaceful.
D. Comfortable and relaxed.
5 Why did Bates’ new goal surprise his family?
A. Because he was diagnosed with autism.
B. Because he was a crosscountry team member.
C. Because he graduated from high school just now.
D. Because they considered the new goal impractical.
6. Which of the following did not contribute to Bates’ success?
A. Guidance from experts.
B. His perseverance to the goal.
C. Support from his family.
D. Encouragement of team members.
