French Moderns at the Figge Museum, Davenport, IA

Run, do not walk, to see this spectacular exhibit of French art from between 1850 and 1950.  All 60 pieces, most of them paintings, but also some sculpture, comes from the Brooklyn Museum's collection.  This painting by Gustave Caillebotte
Apple Tree in Blossom (1885), is just one example of how even lesser known artists have produced spectacular art.  I walked away from the exhibit almost breathless, rejuvenated in a way that being amongst beauty can do, and hoping that i would be able to get back and see it again before it ends (which would be January 6, 2019).
So two things that are cool.  The first is that a museum as small as the Figge was able to get this exhibit, so hats off to them for that vision, and the Brooklyn Museum for letting Iowa have a shot at it.  The other is that  for the duration of the exhibit the town of Davenport is immersing itself in the culture of France, with lectures, art classes, French food, you name it.  Something almost every week to better understand where this art came from.  Really inspirational in many ways.
