expressed in the realm of art? And how can the intimate interaction between
people be depicted?

18th to the mid-20th centuries sough to portray ‘intimacy’ through close,
sensitive observation of people, nature and domestic settings. The exhibition
assigns a crucial role to the matter of intimacy in the evolution of modern
art.

Munch, Berthe Morisot, Vilhelm Hammershøi, Edward Hopper and Pierre Bonnard.
