Art I'm Seeing #46

Anyone who has ever visited the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. will surely recognize these works. What they probably wouldn't know is that they came to the gallery from the same bequeathed collection. The collection of Maud and Chester Dale truly forms the foundation of it's best known and loved French Impressionist paintings. Iconic works by others like Picasso, Braque and the Bellows below also belonged to this voracious duo of connoisseurs.

The exhibit closes this coming weekend, and the works will again be scattered through the museum.







La Mousmé (1888), Vincent van Gogh (1853 - 1890)







The Boating Party (1893/94), Mary Cassatt (1844 - 1926)






Blue Morning (1909), George Bellows (1882 - 1925)
