Gallery Talk: Artistic Friendships and Communities in Art History

Sunday, April 19, 2026 at 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM

LACMA, Los Angeles

Hear from LACMA curator Alexandra Kaczenski at an in-depth exploration of the artistic friendships and networks that shaped the exhibition[*Village Square: Gifts of Modern Art from the Pearlman Collection to the Brooklyn Museum, LACMA, and MoMA*](https://www.lacma.org/art/exhibition/village-square-gifts-modern-art-pearlman-collection-brooklyn-museum-lacma-and-moma). We will focus on the people and places that inspired avant-garde artists in the late-19th and early 20th centuries, from the creative collaboration between Camille Pissarro and Paul Cézanne to Amedeo Modigliani's community of immigrant artists in Paris, to consider how they played a pivotal role in the development of Post-Impressionist and modern art.
