'Radical Harmony : Helene Kröller-Müller’s Neo-Impressionists' exhibition at The National Gallery

BGUK_3342805 - The National Gallery's first exhibition of Neo-Impressionists brings Georges Seurat's cancan Dancers 'Le Chahut' to the UK for the first time. 'Radical Harmony : Helene Kröller-Müller’s Neo-Impressionists exhibition runs from 13 September 2025 - 8 February 2026 at The Sainsbury Wing. Largely drawn from the outstanding collection of the German art collector Helene Kröller-Müller (1869‒1939), at the Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo, in the Netherlands, the exhibition will show radical works of French, Belgian and Dutch artists, painted from 1886 to the early 20th century. These include Anna Boch (1848‒1936), Jan Toorop (1858-1928), Théo van Rysselberghe (1862‒1926), Paul Signac (1863‒1935) and Georges Seurat (1859–1891) himself. One of the first great women art patrons of the 20th century, Kröller-Müller, assembled what is probably the world’s greatest and most comprehensive collection of Neo-Impressionist paintings just two decades after these works were painted. As well as being one of the first European women to put together a major art collection, Kröller-Müller was a pioneer in displaying modern works of art on white walls; in a museum designed by Belgian architect Henry van de Velde, who began his career as a Neo-Impressionist painter.
