Featuring more seventy works by French and European masters such equally Degas, Manet, Monet, Morisot, Renoir, Rousseau, and Van Gogh, this exhibition celebrates Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon's extraordinary gift of nineteenth and early twentieth-century French fine art to the VMFA. Later first becoming interested in British sporting fine art, Paul Mellon began to collect nineteenth-century French fine art in the 1940s with his 2d wife, Rachel Lambert Mellon. While their collection largely consists of Impressionist paintings, information technology besides includes masterpieces from every of import school of French art—from Romanticism and the Barbizon School through Cubism and the Schoolhouse of Paris. Taken together, these works exemplify the Mellons' personal vision and highly original collecting strategies, which provide a context for understanding this unique collection.
The exhibition reproduces the invigorating experience of the Mellons' collection, in which each work resonates with and gains greater strength from its lovingly created context. Van Gogh, Monet, Degas is presented in a serial of sections including Cyphers of Modernity, Horses, Flowers, Views of Paris, People, H2o, Interiors and Tables, The French Countryside, The Transformation of the Ordinary, and VMFA: Toward Impressionism. Opening with Cyphers of Modernity, visitors will exist introduced to two of the collection's nearly feature paintings: Berthe Morisot's Young Woman Watering a Shrub and Théodore Géricault's Mounted Jockey. These paintings are emblematic of the drove in their commitment to modernism, too as their subject thing, which appealed to Mrs. Mellon's love of gardening and Mr. Mellon'southward passion for horses and horseracing.
