Matisse, Picasso and the School of Paris April 27, 2007

Consisting of 64 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper from The Baltimore Museum of Art's extensive collection, this rich exhibition explores the work of artists who made Paris the center of modern art and culture from the late 19th century until the outbreak of World War II. Many of the works in this exhibition come from the renowned collection of sisters Etta and Claribel Cone of Baltimore, who, in the early 20th century, amassed one of the most important art collections of their time, much of which came through their visits to the Paris studios of Matisse and Picasso.
