“With its solemnity as well as its spontaneity, Camille Pissarro’s Still Life
of 1867 is one of the most rewarding and mesmerizing compositions in
the collection of the Toledo Museum of Art,” Nichols said. “This
exhibition will place this masterpiece within the context of the
important developments in French still life paintings in this vital
decade.”
Also included are sterling examples from the hand of Édouard
Manet, regarded as the ‘father of modern painting’,
and Paul Cézanne, considered to have been the driving precursor of Cubism, the early 20th century’s major art movement. In addition, superb paintings by Claude Monet, Henri Fantin-Latour and Gustave Courbet will be on view.
