This exhibition unveils a selection of artworks that have been acquired by the MMFA over the last five years, displayed in groupings that create a dialogue between the works, through their subject, medium, form, function and time period. Through these juxtapositions, we hope to provoke new and enlightening interpretations of the Museum’s collection.
Two by two, together features important paintings by William Brymner, Peter Doig, Pierre Dorion, Wanda Koop, Stéphane La Rue, Robert Clow Todd, Claude Tousignant, Robin F. Williams, and Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun; sculptures by Louise Bourgeois, Stanley Février, Giuseppe Penone and Kishio Suga; graphic works by Tony Lewis, Nicolas Party and Rembrandt; photographs by Herbert List and Robert Mapplethorpe; and an early Chinese cosmic board (Liuren Shipan) from the Sui Dynasty.
The majority of the selected works are being shown to the Museum’s audiences for the first time!
