 | | 1900 begins with a selection of works from the Exposition Décennale, an international exhibition of art created between 1889-1900, that was held as part of the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle (World's Fair). |
 | | This endeavor was mirrored in other portions of the Exposition Universelle, where countries highlighted their accomplishments in fields such as industry and technology, each participant vying for supremacy in an era defined by burgeoning nationalism and colonial expansionism. |
 | | After this introduction, which provides a look at a selection of the art considered significant at the turn of the century, 1900 is organized thematically to demonstrate the distinctive treatments that artists of differing schools and nationalities brought to similar subject matter. |
