Renoir, Degas, Manet, and Van Gogh to Visti Palm Springs This Summer

Why fight the crowds in Paris this summer to see the Master painters of the Impressionist era? Instead, you can enjoy the cool and uncrowded private collection which includes leaders in American painting. You may not be able to afford a trip to Europe's Louvre, but surely you can swing one out the Palm Springs this summer!


From this weeks Palm Springs Art Museum Newsletter:
"From Degas to De Kooning: Impressionist and Modern Masters at the Palm Springs Art Museum This Summer!

From June 15 through September 3, the Palm Springs Art Museum is privileged to once again present during the summer season a selection of outstanding Impressionist and Modern paintings on loan from a private collection. Many of these works have graced the galleries during earlier summers, but this year a very special addition has been made to the works on view, masterpieces by Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning, two of the leading figures in the New York School of Abstract Expressionism that developed in the late 1940s and catapulted American painting to international prominence. These outstanding works will be seen with eleven other paintings ranging from Impressionist studies of light and atmosphere by Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, to modernist essays in expressive color and form by Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso, to the contrasts of realism and abstraction in contemporary works by Wayne Thiebaud and Joan Mitchell.

THIS EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION IS ON LOAN TO THE MUSEUM BY AN ANONYMOUS COLLECTOR, COURTESY OF HEATHER JAMES ART & ANTIQUITIES."
