The Israel Museum in Jerusalem, world-famous for its unique holdings in Judaica and Near Eastern archaeology also houses encyclopedic collections in the fine arts, representing an impressive range of periods and cultures from around the globe. Among these is a remarkable collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art, brought together over the past forty years through the generosity of donors worldwide, responding to the Museum's embracing curatorial vision: paintings by such important Impressionists as Camille Pissaro, Edgar Degas, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet, and the American Childe Hassam, and by Post-Impressionists suah as Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Henri-Edmond Cross, and Edouard Vuillard, along with works of sculpture by such artists as Auguste Rodin, Edgar Degas, and Aristide Maillol.
The Israel Museum's holdings of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painting and sculpture are presented here for the first time in a lavishly illustrated publication, replete with full-color reproductions and authoritative texts.
This beautifully produced book will be a delight to the mind and the eye of art-lovers everywhere.
