Beneath its apparent thematic simplicity, Edouard Vuillard’s The Public Gardens raises numerous historic and technical questions that this program seeks to resolve. Entries from Vuillard’s journal unify the narrative as it travels from his art education, to his painting technique, to the effects of symbolist theater on his work, to his practice of photography—all of which shed light on or are illumined by his nine-panel masterpiece.
