A beautifully produced volume devoted to a distinguished collection
of European paintings, including an extraordinary group of French
Impressionist works. This full-color catalogue features more than
70 of the most important nineteenth-century European paintings in
the Clark Art Institute, including masterpieces by Monet, Pissarro,
Sisley, Morisot, Manet, Degas, and Renoir. The book also includes
earlier works by Corot and Millet, as well as academic paintings by
artists such as Gerome and Bouguereau. Insightful essays by leading
scholars of nineteenth-century European art are followed by lavish
reproductions and illuminating catalogue entries about each work.
James Ganz offers a fascinating introduction to Sterling Clark, an
heir to the Singer sewing machine fortune, who along with his wife
Francine founded the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute to
house their important collection of European and American
paintings, sculpture, drawings, and decorative arts. Richard
Brettell discusses Clark in the context of other
early-twentieth-century collectors such as Albert Barnes and Duncan
Phillips. Published to accompany an international tour of the
featured works, this handsome volume provides a superb overview of
this extraordinary collection.
