Episode Notes

French Moderns: Matisse / Renoir / Degas opens at The Frick Pittsburgh on June 20th! Chief Curator & Director of Collections Dawn Brean and Director of Learning & Visitor Experience Kelsie Paul spoke with Anna Singer about bringing the exhibition and its surrounding programs to life.

Dawn talks about the curatorial process, which begins with an idea and manifests as crates of artwork. Some of the featured artists--in addition to the eponymous three--include Paul Cézanne, Marc Chagall, and Gabriele Münter. Kelsie delves into the many opportunities to engage with the exhibition. Museum goers can attend art history lectures, evening tours, workshops, a concert given by pianist Leslie Amper, and more.

French Moderns: Matisse / Renoir / Degas will be on view through October 11th. You can find more information about the exhibition and explore its connected programs on the Frick's website.
