Collecting the Impressionists: Masterpieces from the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute
January 20 through March 11, 2007
Twelve masterpieces include portraits by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, landscapes by Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro, a still life by Edouard Manet, and a classic ballet scene by Edgar Degas.

They were carefully selected to reveal the preferences of Sterling and Francine Clark for pictures suffused with an unmistakably French joie-de-vivre: sunny landscapes, portraits of beautiful young women, charming genre scenes, and contemplative still lifes. This exhibition celebrates the 50th anniversary of the magnificent bequest to the museum that bears their name.

 This exhibition at the Norton Museum of Art is made possible in part through the generosity of Harold and Anne Berkley Smith, the Sydelle and Arthur I. Meyer Endowment, the Gioconda and Joseph King Endowment, the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Arts Council, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
