"Cézanne to Picasso: Paintings from the David and Peggy Rockefeller Collection" Exhibition
The Museum of Modern Art
This event has ended.
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.
