RADICAL HARMONY: HELENE KROLLER-MULLER'S NEO-IMPRESSIONISTS

A landmark exhibition 'Radical Harmony: Helene Kröller-Müller’s Neo-Impressionists' has opened at the National Gallery, London (until 8 February 2026).

Kröller-Müller was one of the first female collectors of modern art in the twentieth century. She wasn't keen on Impressionism but loved Neo-Impressionism. Superb  Neo-Impressionist artworks, from the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo are on temporary loan to the National Gallery.
Before stepping out to see it, read a review - published online in The Arbuturian - free to read.
