A colorful exploration and a comparative experience, through key masterpieces of art, along with less familiar but equally...

Eugene Delacroix once said, “If you are not skillful enough to sketch a man jumping out of a window in the time it takes him to fall to the ground, you will never be able to produce great works.” Indeed, Delacroix was a speedy draftsman, and a forceful painter. Though he has always been considered influential, he has never had an American retrospective…until now. Together, we will see how this Romantic master eschewed perfection;...

Most histories of modern art focus largely on European trailblazers, and New York’s musuems have been all too happy to reinforce that notion. This exhibition constitutes a sea-change by setting up provocative juxtapositions of European and American masters....

We will evaluate the truth of each aforementioned...
