The Brukenthal National Museum invites you to the largest European graphic art exhibition belonging to lawyer George Serban’s collection. 30 European artists with over 50 works will be exhibited in the Prints and Drawings Cabinet in the Brukenthal Palace from the Great Square.

Around 1900 the European art experienced an extraordinary development, coming after the French realism and impressionism that marked the 19th century, the 20th century was an explosive one in art. Numerous artists have delimited themselves from the old currents and through an extraordinary courage, they have set aside the previous artistic conventions, orienting themselves towards other horizons. The pictorial space based most of the time on a central perspective has now been destroyed, appearing a free, energetic, modern construction. The rapid development of society since the end of the nineteenth century, and continuing into the twentieth century, and the important changes have greatly influenced the way in which the means of the artistic expression are perceived by the population. Due to the high demand for works, the artists of this period also began to multiply the works through the technique of engraving and lithography, which today enjoys a fantastic demand, and sometimes the price is dazzling.
The exhibition offers the visitor the chance to get acquainted to the European art from the second half of the 19th century and the 20th century and the main artistic currents: post-impressionism, cubism, expressionism, abstract expressionism, surrealism, fauvism, abstractionism, dadaism.
