A number of rare masterpieces of Western art, including Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin, Renoir, Munch, Chagall and other masters, will be unveiled in the "Eternal Seasons" theme group exhibition of the Year of the Ox in Hong Kong from March 25 to May 31.
The group exhibition with the theme of "Spring Flowers and Autumn Reality" will be divided into two chapters to present the audience with the scenery of the four seasons written by the famous artists in the past 150 years. The first chapter of the exhibition will open on March 25 for a month focusing on a series of masterpieces by heavyweight Impressionists and Western modern artists including Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Pierre August Renoir, Eduard Munch, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Audron Redon, Raoul Duffy, and Henri Le Steener. From Van Gogh's landscape depiction of autumn colors a hundred years ago to Picasso and Chagall's spring flowers, most of these gorgeous works are making their debut in Asia.

Highlights of the first chapter of "Primrose" include the important Parisian park landscapes by Vincent Van Gogh in 1886, which reflect the artist's transition from the gray, gloomy style of the Dutch period to French Impressionism. Another highlight is Picasso's rare early floral still life vase in Paris in 1901, which gives a glimpse into the everyday blue background of the artist's Parisian life, which also hints at the famous "blue period" that began in late 1901.

The second chapter of the exhibition will focus on collectors' favorite Contemporary Artists from the East and the West, from the classic works of American pop art masters to the new works of today's hot contemporary artists, some of which are carefully created or selected by the artists themselves for this exhibition. The exhibition not only allows the audience to glimpse the changes in art in the past century and a half, but also to harvest the joy and insight of life brought by art when immersed in this brilliant spring and autumn colors.
