The National Gallery's new exhibition includes Van Gogh's brief foray into Neo-Impressionism

The National Gallery in London opens 'Radical Harmony: Helene Kröller-Müller’s Neo-Impressionists' tomorrow, running until 8 February 2026. The exhibition features works by Van Gogh’s Parisian colleagues, including Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, and highlights Van Gogh’s brief experimentation with Neo-Impressionist dot-like technique. A key work on display is Van Gogh's 'The Sower' (June 1888), which also recently received a papal mention by Pope Leo XIV, who referenced the painting in his first general audience at the Vatican, interpreting its sun as a symbol of God.

« La Boule » de Villeroy & Boch : l’art explosif et pop du pique-nique

Villeroy & Boch, the historic German porcelain manufacturer founded in 1748, launched "La Boule" ("Die Kugel") in 1971—a stackable 19-piece porcelain dinner service for four that compacts into a colorful decorative sphere. Designed by Helen von Boch, the eighth-generation family director, the set was part of a pop-design wave and came in original color variants that have since become collectors' items. The article also highlights related designs like the "La Bomba" picnic cutlery set (1968) and melamine set (1972), both held by MoMA, and notes Villeroy & Boch's collaborations with artists such as Keith Haring, Paloma Picasso, and Luigi Colani.
