THIS OCTOBER THE MINNEAPOLIS INSTITUTE OF ARTS (MIA) PRESENTS 'THE LOUVRE AND THE MASTERPIECE' WHICH WILL EXPLORE HOW THE DEFINITION OF A 'MASTERPIECE', AS WELL AS TASTE AND CONNOISSEURSHIP, HAVE CHANGED OVER TIME. THE EXHIBITION, PRESENTED BY U.S. BANK, WILL FEATURE 62 WORKS OF ART DRAWN FROM ALL EIGHT OF THE MUSEE DU LOUVRE'S COLLECTION AREA, SPANNING 4,000 YEARS. PAINTINGS, SCULPTURES, DECORATIVE ARTS AND DRAWINGS WILL REFLECT THREE MAJOR THEMES: THE CHANGING HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL DEFINITIONS OF A MASTERPIECE; AUTHENTICITY AND CONNOISSEURSHIP; AND THE EVOLUTION OF TASTE AND SCHOLARSHIP. 'THE LOUVRE AND THE MASTERPIECE' WILL BE ON VIEW IN MINNEAPOLIS FROM 18.OCTOBER.2009 THROUGH 10.JANUARY.2010. "WE ARE THRILLED TO PRESENT SUCH A MAGNIFICENT GROUP OF WORKS FROM THE LOUVRE'S COLLECTIONS TO MINNESOTA FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND IT IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE WHAT MAKES A WORK OF ART A MASTERPIECE", SAID KAYWIN FELDMAN, DIRECTOR AND PRESIDENT OF THE MINNEAPOLIS INSTITUTE OF ARTS.
