TURNER TO CEZANNE: MASTERPIECES FROM THE
DAVIES COLLECTION, NATIONAL MUSEUM WALES
MAY 16 – AUGUST 8, 2010
The National Museum Wales counts among its treasures the Davies Collection, an extraordinary group of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century paintings that is remarkable for its breadth and quality. Assembled between 1908 and 1923 by sisters Gwendoline and Margaret Davies, the collection is exceptionally strong in Realist and Impressionist works and includes masterpieces by, among others, Cézanne, Daumier, Manet, Millet, Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, and Van Gogh. Turner to Cézanne will feature approximately fifty-five extraordinary paintings and five important Impressionist works on paper. The exhibition will explore the stylistic innovations that shaped the art of the nineteenth century, offering an exceptional survey of the evolution of modern art from its beginnings in the romantic naturalism of Turner through Post-Impressionism.
The exhibition is organized by the American Federation of Arts and National Museum Wales.
