    Add Review/Comment

    Jan 31 - April 4 Dixon Gallery and Gardens will host Monet to Matisse, an exhibition of the permanent collection of late nineteenth and early twentieth century art, from January 31 - April 4, 2010. The exhibition will feature over 40 paintings and works on paper by the most influential artists of the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements. Works on view by renowned Impressionist painters include the soft plein-air paintings of Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Camille Pissarro, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir; graceful, if sometimes seedy images of the Parisian ballet by Edgar Degas, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Jean-Louis Forain; avant-garde post-Impressionist landscapes by Henri Matisse and Paul Gauguin; and brilliantly modern floral still-life paintings completed by Georges Braque and Marc Chagall. To further illuminate the museum-wide presentation of the exhibition, materials from the museum's archives will examine the history of the Dixon collection from the initial bequest by its founders, Hugo and Margaret Dixon, to its current holdings of around 2000 objects of fine and decorative arts. Monet to Matisse is made possible in part by Hyde Family Foundations, Dr. Rose M. Johnston, Bank of America and Merrill Lynch.
