Noted as one of the most significant gifts of art given to the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in its 66-year history, the recent contribution by Dwight and Winifred Vedder will be unveiled this exciting exhibition. The assemblage of 13 significant works represents French, British, and American artists from the late 19th to mid 20th centuries. The collection includes works by such notable Impressionist artists as Mary Cassatt, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Armand Guillaumin, and Berthe Morisot, but also includes two works by self-taught artists, Anna Mary Robertson "Grandma" Moses and Helen Bradley. The intermingling of genres within the collection not only reflects Mr. and Mrs. Vedder鈥檚 self-described 鈥渆clectic鈥� tastes, but also illustrates the wide scope that gave them the most pleasure. The addition of this collection plays a significant role in the growth of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art鈥檚 permanent collection. Phillip Johnston, SBMA Director, states, 鈥淎mazingly, before this generous gift, the Museum never owned a Renoir. Now we have two. The same holds true for paintings by Mary Cassatt.鈥� Other firsts added to the Museum鈥檚 collection through the Vedder Collection are paintings by Helen Bradley, Armand Guillaumin, and Victoria Dubourg Fantin-Latour.
