The Pop of Life! Pop Art in the Collection of the MMFA
from Aug 31, 2023 to Mar 24, 2024
Montreal museum of fine arts
Originating in Britain and the United States during the 1950s, Pop art peaked in the 1960s and continued to flourish internationally throughout the 1970s. In stark contrast to the intensely personal and introspective approach of Abstract Expressionism, its artists abandoned painterly compositions in favour of impersonal images – facilitated by commercial printing techniques – and a return to figuration.

Collections du Musée
The Museum’s rich collections are divided into six major sections distributed among the five pavilions of the Museum complex, each of which focusses on a particularly strong aspect of the holdings. Today, 158 years after its founding, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is more forward-looking than ever! This institution is not a government-run museum, but relies on generous patrons for the expansion of its encyclopedic heritage collection, which has risen to a historic total of 43,000 works.
