Their works were accomplished during the half-century of modernity: expansion of capitalism, development of transport which made it possible to travel the world .. In terms of the arts, this period saw the birth of a European space open to traffic and exchanges. All three travelers, they discover places and grounds which, fifty years earlier, they would not have been able to access. Monet went several times to London, on the Mediterranean coast, to Belle-Île and as far as Norway. Hodler stays in Munich, Paris, Italy, Spain. Munch, the most "nomadic" of the three, travels very often between the Scandinavian countries, Germany, Italy and France. The thematic route of the exhibition reveals the affinities of some of their research, while the three men come to painting without being prepared for it by their social origins. Relentlessly, they try to "capture" the intangible elements (snow, the sun at its zenith, the clarity of the Moon, water, mountain peaks ..), marking the art of the end of the 19th century and the beginning. of the twentieth centuries through their innovative approach." - translated from French website description.
