Fin de Siècle
While the expression 'Fin de Siècle' is primarily associated with an artistic movement from the 1880s to the first decade of the 20th century, our exhibition has a wider reach. Our prints, drawings and photographs include those dating through to the 1930s as well as those representing the influence and continuation of artists working in the Fin de Siècle style.
