Winnipeg Art Gallery

Next we visited the Winnipeg Art Gallery. To our luck, the “100 Masters” exhibition was at the gallery. The “100 Masters” exhibition is a collection of one hundred pieces of art from over thirty museums around the world. The works span from the 1500s to the 2000s, and include Canadian, American, and European pieces. The exhibit is organized chronologically, so we could easily see the progression of art between the six centuries. The gallery included pieces by Rembrandt van Rijn, Picasso, Matisse, Claude Monet, and Any Warhol. One of my favorite pieces was Canadian artist Christopher Pratt’s “Young Girl With Seashells” (1965) because of its simplicity and style. Check it out here!
