Beschreibung

Jerusalem's Israel Museum has long been renowned for its collections of Judaica, Near Eastern artifacts, and rare books, including the Dead Sea Scrolls. But the museum's hidden treasures are its Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings and sculpture. In this dazzling volume, published just after the Israel Museum's 40th anniversary, the institution's superb collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art is showcased in full color and described in English for the first time. In an engaging text, curator Stephanie Rachum traces the history of the collection from its beginnings even before the museum itself was built. The collection has grown considerably over the years, and featured here are paintings by Cizanne, van Gogh, Gauguin, Pissarro, Degas, Renoir, and Monet, along with sculpture by Rodin and other notable artists. Wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The Israel Museum in Jerusalem is world-famous for its collections of Judaica, Near Eastern archaeological artifacts and rare books, including the "Dead Sea Scrolls". Less known are the museum's Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings and sculpture, brought together over the past 40 years by a staff of dedicated curators and a group of generous donors. These fine works include paintings by such important Impressionists as Eugene Boudin, Camille Pissarro, Edgar Degas, Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet and the American Childe Hassam. Post-Impressionists represented include Paul Cezanne, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Henri Edmond Cross and Edouard Vuillard. There are also works of sculpture by Auguste Rodin, Edgar Degas and Aristide Maillol, among others. These works are published here in English in full colour for the first time. The authoritative catalogue is written in an engaging style that will be interesting and readable for a wide audience.
