Monet to Matisse: French Moderns

June 8 - September 15, 2024

Coming to the Portland Art Museum this summer from the Brooklyn Museum’s renowned European art collection, Monet to Matisse: French Moderns showcases approximately 60 works of art considered to be modernist masterpieces. Focusing on France as the artistic center of international modernism from the mid-19th to mid-20th centuries, the exhibition features paintings and sculpture ranging widely in scale, subject matter, and style. Impressionism, Symbolism, Fauvism, Cubism, and Surrealism are all explored in the work of Paul Cézanne, Marc Chagall, Edgar Degas, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and many others. Monet to Matisse: French Moderns is organized by Lisa Small, Senior Curator of European Art, and Richard Aste, former Curator of European Art, Brooklyn Museum.


Monet’s "Rising Tide at Pourville" and Auguste Rodin’s "Age of Bronze" rank among the major masterpieces by these favorite artists, but this selection will also introduce our visitors to lesser-known innovative artists like the Hungarian painter József Rippl-Rónai and the influential academic artist Jehan Georges Vibert.

Joan Watts, “Zazen,” 1995, oil on canvas, 26 x 26” each

Joan Watts: Zazen

On view through June 29, 2024

These pieces, as the title suggests, focus particularly on the primary, essential practice of Buddhism: zazen, or sitting meditation. In keeping with the essential paradoxes at the heart of Buddhist practice, Joan Watt’s work balances the qualities of precision and structure with a flowing and intuitive expression.

Eva Isaksen, “Far North”

June 6 - 22, 2024

Artist Talk - June 15, 2pm

"The title for this show refers to inspiration based on the Arctic landscape. Every year I spend time in my hometown north of the Arctic Circle in Norway, I often go during the winter months when the days are very short. The winter light is clear and unique, peaceful, beautiful. At night sometimes the northern lights are present. Space, colors, and shapes are based on memories from the North, but what I am always seeking are ways of abstracting my work no matter where the ideas and inspirations have their roots."

B&W Photography from the Collection

The allure of black and white photography endures because it speaks to something universal—a shared human experience, captured in a moment, yet infinite in its reach.


Visual Harmonies | Richard & Marciano Martinez

Step into the vibrant water media worlds created by renowned brother artists Richard and Marciano Martinez. Each artist has developed his own distinct style and perspective that will transport viewers to realms of brilliant color, dazzling light, and rich emotional resonance.


Chris Frausto, Wonderkammer

The Wunderkammer, a chamber brimming with the marvels of nature, ignited by a profound curiosity for the exotic and extraordinary! This Renaissance-era concept of a Cabinet of Curiosities has been reimagined as an immersive experience.


Un-Defined Sensibility | International Juried Exhibition

The “Un-Defined Sensibility” is a juried group exhibition bridges the boundaries of conformity and modernity, presenting a body of digital art, photography, painting, sculpture, videography, and graphic design. The "Un-Defined Sensibility" exhibition aims to un-define and re-examine the intersubjective connection that art interweaves among viewers, the local community.

Raymond Jonson, “Watercolor No. 5,”

1947, watercolor on paper, 19 x 27”

Raymond Jonson (1891-1982)

June, 2024

Raymond Jonson was one of the foremost 20th century nonobjective painters in America. Although his celebrity was not that of other painters who traveled to New Mexico, such as Georgia O’Keeffe or Marsden Hartley, his contributions to art were on par with the most celebrated Modern artists.

He founded many artist groups in both Chicago and New Mexico, including the Transcendental Painting Group and Cor Ardens. Greatly influenced by Wassily Kandinsky and the Bauhaus artists, he advanced new technologies in American art (e.g. the use of the airbrush and polymer paints), and devoted himself to exploring the spiritual in art.

Jonson was a great artist, but it was his efforts as an innovator, teacher, curator, and mentor that truly defined him.
