Comunicato stampa evento: Cézanne to Picasso: Paintings from the David and Peggy Rockefeller Collection

Dal mercoledì 15 luglio 2009
al lunedì 31 agosto 2009

This intimate installation highlights a group of ten exceptional early modern European paintings given or promised to MoMA by David and Peggy Rockefeller. Featuring superb examples of Post-Impressionist, Fauvist, and Cubist painting that range in date from Paul Cézanne's Still Life with Fruit Dish (1879–80) to Pablo Picasso's The Reservoir, Horta de Ebro (summer 1909), this presentation celebrates the Rockefellers' longstanding generosity to the Museum and the early flowering of modern art. Among the other works included are Henri Matisse's vibrant Interior with a Young Girl/Girl Reading (1905–06) and André Derain’s Charing Cross Bridge (1905–06), a brilliantly colored Fauve cityscape.

Organized by Ann Temkin, The Marie-Josée and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture.

The exhibition is made possible by BNP Paribas.
