Members’ Day Trip: Manet/Degas at the MET with a visit to the Frick Madison
Bus pick up/drop off in the CPC parking lot (7308 York Road @ Stevenson Lane)
Join us on November 16 for a day trip to NYC via chartered bus to view the sought after and expansive Manet/Degas exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A self-guided tour of the Frick Madison will follow. A casual boxed dinner will be served along with wine and soft drinks on the return trip to Baltimore.
We will begin our day at the MET, focusing on Manet/Degas - THE exhibition of the year. This exhibition examines one of the most significant artistic dialogues in modern art history: the close and sometimes tumultuous relationship between Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas. Born only two years apart, Manet (1832–1883) and Degas (1834–1917) were friends, rivals, and, at times, antagonists who worked to define modern painting in France. By examining their careers in parallel and presenting their work side by side, this exhibition investigates how their artistic objectives and approaches both overlapped and diverged. An unforgettable exhibition about the relationship between Manet and Degas, two of the most original and influential artists of the 19th century. “The exhibition lingers in the imagination not just because it brings together such a lavish array of great and beguiling artworks, but also because it is a kind of haunted love story.”
Following the MET, we will enjoy a self-guided tour of the Frick Madison. Here, members will experience a unique presentation of highlights from the permanent collection, now on view in an entirely new way at the brutalist Frick Breuer building on 75th Street. Currently serving as a temporary home during the renovation of their buildings, enjoy the Frick’s paintings, sculpture and decorative arts reframed in this distinctive, iconic setting. Organized chronologically and by region, this critically acclaimed presentation allows for fresh juxtapositions and new insights. Only a few months remain to view the Frick masterpieces in this setting; they will leave the Breuer building in March 2024. Also at the Frick, Barkley L. Hendricks: Portraits at the Frick.
