It focuses on 38 works made between 1860 and 1905 and begins with a short introduction by Christopher Riopelle on the formation of the collection, before discussing each of the chosen works which are arranged chronologically by artist.
It includes highlights such as Manet¹s Corner of a Café-Concert, Monet¹s Water-Lily Pond, Gallen-Kallela¹s Lake Keitele and Cézanne¹s Bathers (Les Grandes Baigneuses). Another key painting will be the recently acquired Afternoon in the Tuileries Gardens by Adolph Menzel.
Celebrating a remarkable permanent collection that is the envy of museums and galleries around the world, the display will attract significant interest. This book provides an introduction to this great group of paintings, and a memento of a spectacular re-display.
