Impressionist and Modern Art: The A. Jerrold Perenchio Collection at LACMA

A commemoration of a renowned collection of 19th- and 20th-century European art, from Manet to MagrittePublished with Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The collection of former Univision CEO, A. Jerrold Perenchio, is a treasure trove of masterpieces, including important works by Bonnard, Degas, Gauguin, Léger, Magritte, Manet, Monet, Picasso and others. By donating this incredible collection to LACMA, Perenchio has singlehandedly transformed the museum's collection of European art. Dating from the 1870s through the 1930s, many of these nearly 50 pieces exemplify some of the most radical and inventive moments in the history of art. Included here are Degas' outstanding At the Café-concert: The Song of the Dog; LACMA's first Manet, the portrait of Louise Gauthier-Lathuille; three exceptional paintings by Monet; a Post-Impressionist standout by Bonnard; a superb early Cubist drawing by Picasso; and Magritte's Dangerous Liaisons. Featuring brilliant reproductions of each work and insightful texts, this volume celebrates an extremely rare and magnanimous demonstration of support for the visual arts.
