The exhibition "A Dutch Modernity: The Singer Collection" is the result of a collaboration between the Museum of Modern Art in Troyes and the Singer Foundation in Laren, the Netherlands. A selection of around eighty works from Troyes is presented at the foundation, allowing the Dutch public to discover a new facet of French modernity from the 19th and 20th centuries collected by Pierre and Denise Lévy, whose donation was the origin of the museum. For its part, the Museum of Modern Art in Troyes is hosting ninety-five paintings, sculptures, and drawings, also from a private collection, that of William and Anna Singer, giving the French public the opportunity to grasp Dutch modernity from this same period. The exhibition reveals the influence of French movements such as the Barbizon School and Impressionism on the renewal of Dutch landscape painting, the development of the Laren School, and the emergence of the avant-garde movements at the beginning of the 20th century, which led in particular to the theories of the De Stijl movement. This catalogue accompanies this event by reproducing all the works on display.
