Turner to Cezanne Opening Lecture

Oliver Fairclough, exhibition curator and Keeper of Art at the National Museum Wales, discusses works in the exhibition Turner to Cezanne: Masterpieces from the Davies Collection. Margaret and Gwendolyn Davies collected this extraordinary group of 19th and early 20th century paintings between 1908 and 1923. 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. The Columbia presentation is made possible by the Blanchard Family.
