Columbia Museum Hosts French Modern Art Exhibition

Lydia Storm, a recent graduate from Oklahoma Baptist University, has developed her unique art style inspired by historical movements such as Art Nouveau and Baroque, focusing on the mastery of human form. Her dedication to art has resulted in accolades, including three American Advertising Awards and the Outstanding Senior in Art Award from OBU. Meanwhile, Victor Mee's Escape from the Chateau sale features over 1,900 antique lots, including a notable Aubusson tapestry, attracting collectors interested in historical artifacts. The Columbia Museum of Art will soon host a significant exhibition, 'French Moderns: Monet to Matisse, 1850 – 1950', showcasing over 50 masterpieces from the Brooklyn Museum, highlighting transformative art movements in France. Paris Fashion Week showcased Olivier Rousteing's bold Balmain collection, characterized by exaggerated silhouettes and theatricality, though not all designs received unanimous praise. Additionally, an exhibition in Vilnius features Chagall's ceramics and tapestries, reflecting his deep connection to his homeland, Vitebsk, and its cultural heritage.
