颁茅锄补苍苍别 and the Modern: Masterpieces of European Art from the Pearlman Collection
See extraordinary masterpieces by some of the most famous artists of the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements. This major exhibition includes a matchless group of paintings and watercolours by Paul 颁茅锄补苍苍别, as well as paintings and sculptures by artists including Paul Gauguin, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas and Amedeo Modigliani.
This collection formed by Henry and Rose Pearlman after the Second World War is one of the most important in North America and this will be the first time it has ever been shown in Europe.
The exhibition includes twenty-four works by 颁茅锄补苍苍别: six oils; two drawings; and sixteen watercolours which constitute one of the finest and best-preserved groups of his watercolours in the world. The majority of these are Proven莽al landscapes, while others depict characteristic 颁茅锄补苍苍别 motifs including a skull, female bathers, and his beloved Mont Sainte-Victoire.
颁茅锄补苍苍别 and the Modern also explores the history of twentieth-century private collections of this type. Key to the Pearlman Collection is Henry Pearlman鈥檚 own tastes. He collected pictures and sculptures that he liked and his thrill at discovering unknown masterpieces is evident throughout. Star pictures include a colourful and unusual composition by Vincent Van Gogh, Tarascon Diligence (1888); Amedeo Modigliani鈥檚 celebrated portrait of Jean Cocteau (1916鈥�17); and among the sculptures are three bronzes by Jacques Lipchitz and one by Wilhelm Lehmbruck; and an extraordinary painted relief, Te Fare Amu (1901-2) by Paul Gauguin.
Mr Colin Harrison, Senior Curator of European Art and exhibition curator, Ashmolean, says: 鈥�颁茅锄补苍苍别 and the Modern offers visitors the opportunity to see extraordinary masterpieces by some of the most famous artists of the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements. Although individual works have occasionally been included in monographic exhibitions, this is the first time that this most individual collection has been exhibited in Europe. Apart from the amazing paintings and watercolours by 颁茅锄补苍苍别, it includes wonderful works by artists who are little known in England, notably Cha茂m Soutine, who was a particular favourite of the Pearlmans.鈥�
