Shadows and Light charts a world of dualitie s: dream and reality\, modernism and tradition\, music and silence\, myste ry and revelation. Together\, these works offer a counterpart and counterp oint to the sun-drenched landscapes of contemporary neo-impressionism\, as serting a distinct and rival presence in Belgium.\n\nNew research illumina tes the complex world of Belgian artists at the vanguard of the internatio nal symbolist movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centurie s—a pivotal moment in the development of modern art. Composed of ten “ movements\,” the exhibition unfolds in the galleries as a visual symphon y with artists engaging with vital issues of modern life\, including quest ions of faith\, social justice\, historical identity\, and psychological a nalysis. Building on the historic tradition of Belgian and Flemish art\, t he exhibition demonstrates how these artists’ works are innovative in st yle and personal vision\, significantly expanding the language of art.\n\n Belgian artists represented include: Cécile Cauterman\, William Degouve d e Nuncques\, Léon Frederic\, Fernand Khnopff\, Georges Le Brun\, Xavier M ellery\, Constantin Meunier\, George Minne\, Armand Rassenfosse\, and Léo n Spilliaert. With forty-six works by Spilliaert\, the exhibition seeks to introduce North American audiences to one of Belgium’s most enigmatic a nd celebrated artists. Paintings by Gustave Moreau\, Dante Gabriel Rossett i\, František Kupka\, and Koloman Moser\, as well as works from the McMul len Museum’s collection\, elucidate the rich context of international sy mbolist art\, in which Belgians played a leading role.\n\nShadows and Ligh t is accompanied by a catalogue\, edited by Jeffery Howe\, with contributi ons from American and Belgian scholars Anne Adriaens-Pannier\, Claude Cern uschi\, Edouard Derom\, Alison Hokanson\, Howe\, and Oliver Wunsch\, provi ding contextual background to the time period and the Belgian avant-garde and offering fresh examinations of Fernand Khnopff\, George Minne\, and L éon Spilliaert.\n\nOrganized by the McMullen Museum\, Shadows and Light h as been curated by Jeffery Howe and is underwritten by Boston College with major support from the Patrons of the McMullen Museum and Mary Ann ’67 and Vincent Q. Giffuni ’65\, P’94.
