TIRANA, May 12/ATA/ The Center for Openness and Dialogue will soon bring to Tirana one of the most important exhibitions ever opened in the capital.
The exhibition entitled “From Bohemianism to Eternity”, will showcase the works of some of the most famous international visual artists such as: Amedeo Modigliani, Henri Matisse, Edgar Degas, Tamara de Lempicka, Kees van Dongen, etc.

The Dutchman Kees van Dongen and the Italian Amedeo Modigliani were closely linked to France and are represented with their masterpieces: Van Dongen with a spectacular portrait of Marcelle Léoni and Modigliani with a portrait of the young Swede, Annie Bjarne.
Sculptures also occupy a special place in the collection, starting with the beautiful bronze “Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer” dressed in a fabric tutu by Edgar Degas, who created many masterpieces on the theme of ballet.
A bold sculptural experiment by Henri Matisse, Aurora in bronze-painted plaster, is a significant work in the collection.
The diversity of the collection is enriched by the outstanding group of progressive Hungarian artists, including Bela Kadar, Lajos Tihani, Csaky and Hugo Scheiber. Representatives of the German avant-garde are also numerous: Hanns Bolz, Henrich Nauen, Max Ackermann, Friedrich Gotsch, Boris Kleint, Oscar Moll and the famous Gabrielle Münter./r.e/j.p/p.s./
