In the early 20th century, Baltimore sisters Claribel and Etta Cone first visited the Paris studios of Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso and began assembling one of the world's most important art collections. Their passion for Matisse's art in particular led them to acquire 500 of his works, forming one of the most extraordinary Matisse collections in the world.
This book gathers 47 artworks from the internationally renowned Cone Collection at The Baltimore Museum of Art, including paintings, sculptures, and works on paper by Matisse, Picasso, Gauguin, Renoir, van Gogh, Courbet, and other masters.
