A Reunited Collection Tours the Commonwealth
Matisse, Picasso, Chagall: an extensive collection of European Modern Art began a two-year tour around Virginia this month. Sixty years ago, a private donor gave the paintings away, splitting them between the University of Virginia’s Art Museum and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond. This touring exhibition reunites the works for the first time for display in Charlottesville, Winchester, Abingdon and Richmond. Peter Solomon reports on “Matisse, Picasso, and Modern Art in Paris: The T. Catesby Jones Collection.”
