France's Ministry of Culture was initially inclined to cancel the show due to concerns about the safety of the pictures, but was reassured after two specialists flew across to check the condition of the facilities at the art museums in Taipei and Kaohsiung. Art audiences in Taiwan are thus able to enjoy once more the original works of the giants of Post-Impressionism, including Cezanne, Matisse, and Modigliani.
當時法國文化部考慮畫作的安全，一度打算取消來台行程。最後在兩位法國專員飛到北美館及高雄市立美術館勘查過硬體結構之後，印象派後期的大師塞尚、馬諦斯、莫迪里亞尼才得以順利訪台，再一次活靈活現在台灣觀眾眼前。
