Whatcom Museum has three famous French artists’ work displayed in partnership with the National Gallery of Art.
Three pieces – “Still Life with Sleeping Woman” by Henri Matisse, “Picking Flowers” by Auguste Renoir and “The Battle of Love” by Paul Cézanne – began showing in the “Verdant” exhibit at the museum’s Lightcatcher building on February 14.
The exhibit is part of the National Gallery of Art’s “Across the Nation” program where the Washington, D.C. gallery is loaning famous artwork to 10 regional museums through 2026 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S.
Information at the exhibit will show more than just the iconic artistry. Background on the works will also be provided, such as how Matisse’s “Still Life with Sleeping Woman” was looted during World War II.
The exhibit will be on display for free during the Free First Friday from noon to 9 p.m. Friday, March 7.
The Lightcatcher building is located at 250 Flora Street in downtown Bellingham.
