Vincent van Gogh and the Painters of the Petit Boulevard
Will we ever get enough of Van Gogh? Apparently not, for here he is
again, this time with
Paul Gauguin, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec,
Camille Pissarro, and several other contemporaries who painted the
street life and nightlife - the petit boulevard - of old
Paris. The
more than 70 paintings and works on paper emphasize the common
themes and concerns of this circle of friends as they discussed,
debated, and invented the modern art of
Europe.

Henry Moore, Sculpting the 20th Century
While other abstract sculptors were welding and constructing, this
early 20th-century British master was making sculpture the
old-fashioned way, by carving and casting.
Henry Moore left a body
of work - sampled here in 120 drawings, maquettes, and full-scale
objects in wood, stone, and bronze - unmatched for its serenity and
lyrical beauty.
