We saw the delightful Jacquemart-Andre Museum yesterday. It's been on my list for some time, just never got there in prior trips. HIghly recommend!
We were privileged to be there for a special exhibit, The Hansen's Secret Garden, an amazing private collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art. It is on through January 22. Lucky Canadians, it is coming to Ottawa in the future!
From the website:
Wilhelm Hansen assembled in only two years (between 1916 and 1918) a collection—which was quite unique in Europe—of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works from the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A selection of more than forty works will be presented for the first time in Paris, at the Musée Jacquemart-André.
The exhibition will include works that are relatively unknown in France, ranging from Corot to Cézanne and Matisse, the changing landscapes of Monet, Pissarro, and Sisley, and the tender portraits of Renoir, Morisot, and Gonzalès. The works of emblematic artists such as Degas, Manet, and Courbet, will also be exhibited, ending with a finale devoted to the vibrant and sensual art of Gauguin.
