 Art in America: 1900 Rediscovered - art exhibition
"1900" boldly pulls the rug on that conventional approach, releasing salon warhorses, lesser-known gems and outre oddities that both broaden our understanding of the dawn of modernism and expand the heritage of many contemporary ideas and strategies.
Kicking off with a core group of works that were exhibited in the Exposition Decennale, the international art show at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle or World's Fair, the curators present a raucous mix of styles and approaches that proves that the turn of the 20th century was every bit as pluralistic as today.
Although "1900" is credited to four curators, it is hard not to view the exhibition as the fulfillment of Robert Rosenblum's brilliant work to date on the 19th century.

 Art in America: 1900 a la Mode
Judging from the stately exhibition "1900," shown last spring in Paris, the citizens of the Western world fairly glided from the 19th century into the 20th, rather like the couples departing Cythera in Watteau's lovely idyll: with unfailing grace, rare fashion and more than a soupcon of nostalgia for what was being left behind.
Notwithstanding the thematic sectioning that shaped the installation of "1900," this was first and foremost a show about the triumph of style.
"1900" was staged in Paris's Neo-Baroque Grand Palais, which, like its sibling Petit Palais, had been built to serve as an art exhibition hall during the 1900 Exposition Universelle.
