|  | | The Pursuit Of Pleasure |  Throughout the centuries, the vocabulary of pleasure— from joy to delight, from bliss to elation, and from indulgence to amusement—has been depicted in artworks in a variety of forms. The Pursuit of Pleasure is the fifth exhibition presented in Las Vegas at the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum and the second to recognize the unique alliance between the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, the State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, and the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.
Drawing on the rich holdings of each institution, The Pursuit of Pleasure explores images of leisure in Western art from the 16th century to the early 20th century as represented in nearly 40 works by artists as diverse as Max Beckmann, Edgar Degas, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Pablo Picasso, Peter Paul Rubens, Jan Steen, Titian, and Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez.
