This extensive exhibition seeks to present the Belle Epoque from several angles, including both French and Finnish perspectives. This wonderfully documented book includes sections on: Matisse and Fauvism; 33 Paintings from the Belle Epoque period by Matisse, André Derain, Louis Valtat, and Maurice de Vlaminck; Three Masterpieces: A contemporary image of Finland in the 1890s, with paintings by Westerholm, Gallen-Kallela, and Pekka Halonen; Photographs from the Belle Époque period, by the Séeberger brothers and other portraits of artists by Nadar and Henri Manuel; Historical Transitions and Everyday Dreams: Finnish Photography in the Early 20th Century, and an introduction to KUVA (Image): the Audiovisual Centre of the Retretti Museum which, as a multimedia work, allows a viewer to see a piece of work from multiple angles.
