Kansas City, since 1933 · Five millennia of open access art
Boudin, Monet, Sargent and Morisot open a route where the beach, the boulevard, maritime work and daydreaming tell the story of modernity through light.
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art opened its doors in Kansas City in 1933, in the heart of the Great Depression. Two civic legacies, that of publisher and investor Mary McAfee Atkins and that of William Rockhill Nelson, founder of Kansas City Star, make possible an encyclopedic institution intended for everyone. The first acquisitions were carried out quickly from 1930, in an international market disrupted by the crisis. The museum now retains more than 40 000 works spanning approximately five thousand years, with major strengths in Asian arts, European and American painting, photography, modern sculpture, indigenous arts and ancient Egypt. The selection of reproductions favors European 19th century. In Trouville, Boudin disperses the elegant women under an immense sky; Monet transforms Boulevard des Capucines into an urban flow seen from above; Sargent accompanies the fishermen on a monumental march; Morisot suspends a figure in daydreaming. Pissarro, Signac and others extend this view of Paris, the coast and modern leisure. The museum thus links a global collection to a free public experience of art. The selection "The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art notably compares Trouville, beach scene and Boulevard des Capucines. His reading favors drawing.
From the Normandy shore to the Parisian boulevard, the Nelson-Atkins selection shows that modern life is first recognized by its rhythms.
