Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, and Paul Cézanne revolutionized art in the decades before the First World War. Now known as the Belle Époque, this was a vibrant period of artistic questioning and risk-taking, one that laid the foundation for generations of artists to come. The National Gallery’s spring blockbuster is a show dedicated to the invention of modern art. The exhibition features over 100 works by artists such as Klimt, Matisse, and Picasso, and, of course, our three original outlaws. —Clara Molot
