As a compliment to Voyage into Myth: French Painting from Gauguin to Matisse from the Hermitage Museum, Russia, this exhibition includes more than 20 paintings, sculpture, prints and drawings from the AGO's permanent collection. Among the artists included are Pierre Bonnard, Paul Gauguin, Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, and Henri Matisse. Their images transport the viewer into exotic, timeless worlds and primordial paradises.
