This select group of outstanding Impressionist and Modern paintings on loan from a private collection demonstrates how artists from the late 19th to late 20th century were willing and driven to experiment with both content and materials. It represents Impressionist forays into the nature and effects of light and atmosphere, which are translated as pigment on canvas; Post Impressionist amplifications of emotion and expression through vivid color; and mid-20th-century abstractions animated by hue and gesture.
In July, the museum will offer lectures about this exhibition. Details can be found here.
