Turner to Cezanne: Masterpieces from the Davies Collection

National Museum Wales, known for having one of the finest Impressionist art collections in Europe, is sending to the US highlights from its remarkable Davies Collection, an extraordinary group of 19th- and 20th-century paintings that is renowned for its beauty and quality. These works, which helped shape the course of Western art, were assembled between 1908 and 1923 by sisters Gwendoline and Margaret Davies. The collection is exceptionally strong in Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works and includes masterpieces by, among others, Cézanne, Corot, van Gogh, Monet, Daumier, Manet, Millet, Pissarro, Renoir, Turner and Whistler. "Turner to Cézanne" features 53 stunning works of art, seen together in the United States for the first time. The exhibition will travel to only five venues and the Columbia Museum of Art is the opening venue.

Tickets go on sale in January 2009.
