National Gallery
(Picture: PA)The National Gallery has felt the pinch of the war in Ukraine. It had planned an exhibition on modern art with the Pushkin Museum in Moscow for next year, but the plans were scrapped soon after Russia’s invasion, leaving the museum rushing to find 15 paintings that could replace the ones stuck in Moscow.
The show, After Impressionism, was based on the art of six European cities where modernism developed. One of the most prominent was Moscow, but that will now be excised from the exhibition. The show will go ahead next year but without works from the Pushkin Museum, and without a planned transfer to Russia.
