Mixed from egg whites and vegetable tints, water and soot, oils and
rare minerals and applied to bone, wood, metal and canvas, the
plastic and expressive properties of paint have stirred artists and
their admirers throughout history. The holdings of the Museum of
Fine Arts, Boston have grown into a formidable appraisal of one of
humankind's oldest and most diverse forms of artistic
expression--from its first acquisition, Washington Allston's
"Elijah in the Desert" (1818), to recently acquired works by Edgar
Degas, Georgia O'Keeffe and Takashi Murakami--and now constitutes
one of America's largest permanent collections. The first version
of "Masterpieces" has long been a favorite among museum-goers and
art lovers. This new edition expands on the scope of the old,
adding new acquisitions and featuring 150 master works by artists
from Asia, Europe and the Americas--from delicate Song-dynasty
handscrolls to jewel-like images of medieval piety, scenes of
mythic drama, austere still lifes, sensitive portraits, grand
landscapes and jarring Modern visions. Featuring artists such as
Rembrandt, El Greco, Copley, Monet, Sargent and Picasso, anonymous
masters of medieval Europe and Asia and living artists of
uncompromising vision such as Gerhard Richter and David Hockney,
this book is a celebration of the possibilities of paint.
