This exceptional art collection was built by Henry and Rose Pearlman during the 1940s and 19 50s. Henry Pearlman (1895 – 1974) was a New York City business man who passionately collected European avant - garde art since 1945 until the end of his life. Central to the Pearlman’s collecting interests were two artists, the great expressionist painter Chaim Soutine, of whose work Henry Pearlman was one of the earliest American collectors, and, most importantly, Paul Cézanne ( 1895 – 1974) . Organized by the Princeton University Art Museum in cooperation with the Henry and Rose Pearlman Foundation , this exhibition marks the first time in over 50 years that the Pearlman Collection has traveled as a collection,.
Other key artworks in the exhibition include:
Edgar Degas, After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself (Après le bain, femme s’essuyant) , 1890s, oil on canvas, The Henry and Rose Pearlman Foundation, on long - term loan to the Princeton University Art Museum
