    In conjunction with the Kimmel Center’s 2011 inaugural Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts (PIFA), PAFA will present an installation of art from the 1910s and 1920s showing American artists’ connections with France. The installation centers on Florine Stettheimer's sumptuous scene of artist friends (including the three Stettheimer sisters, Marcel Duchamp and Elie Nadelman) enjoying a picnic idyll at the tail end of World War I. The Stettheimers were instrumental in fostering exchange between European modernists and Americans during the teens and PAFA's painting symbolizes this fruitful transatlantic relationship. Other prominent PAFA modernist paintings will be included to bring out the influence of Parisian modernism on American art. This event is part of the 2011 Philadelphia International Festival Of The Arts (PIFA).
