The Maurice Wertheim Collection March 12, 2008

Harvard University Art Museums' Maurice Wertheim Collection contains important Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, sculptures and drawings, many of which have become monuments in the history of modern art. Wertheim collected representational works of art made after 1870, when the first important Impressionist paintings were being exhibited, as well as works by artists who built on the heritage of Impressionism to make more personally expressive works of art.
