Renoir at the Theatre: Looking at La Loge
Exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery
Exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery
21st February – 25th May 2008
Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s La Loge (The Theatre Box), 1874, is a masterpiece of Impressionist painting and one of the most famous works in the Courtauld Gallery’s collection. The exhibition will unite this exceptional picture with Renoir’s other paintings of elegant Parisians on display in their loges.
It will also include other depictions of the theatre box by his Impressionist contemporaries, with important works by Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas and others borrowed from international collections. Their shared interest in the spectacle of modern society at the theatre is further explored through a rich array of printed material such as contemporary fashion magazines and caricatures.
