SPLENDOR IN THE BASS:
THE PORTRAITS
Henri and Flore Lesieur Pavilion
Organized by the Bass Museum of Art
This installation highlights aspects of the original John and Johanna Bass founding donation to the museum, and will feature traditional portraiture from the past five centuries to the present day. Works include seventeenth century Italian, Flemish and Dutch examples by painters such as Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641) and Michiel van Musscher (1645-1705), as well as seventeenth and eighteenth century French court portraiture by Jean-Baptiste van Loo (1684-1745) and Hyacinthe Rigaud (1649-1743). British portraits in the Grand Manner will be represented by Benjamin West (1738-1820), George Romney (1734-1802) and John Hoppner (1758-1810). Concurrent with Robert Wilson’s innovative twenty-first century video portraits, Splendor in the Bass: The Portraits provides ample opportunity for compelling comparisons of the history of portraiture in the Western world.

20th Century Spanish Drawings
from the
FUNDACIÓN MAPFRE Collection
Gertrude Silverstone Muss Gallery
This exciting exhibition is comprised of over fifty drawings by some of the 20th century’s most renowned Spanish artists, as well as artists from other countries whose careers were impacted by Spain. Rarely seen sketches and illustrations by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Joan Miro, Julio Gonzalez, Juan Gris, Picabia and Joaquin Torres-Garcia will be shown. These works on paper show how these artists first honed their talent in drawings and watercolors, and illustrate the tension between figuration and abstraction that dominated the course of art during this period.
Founded in 1975, Fundación Mapfre is one of the most prestigious cultural Spanish foundations that is supported by Mapfre, a Spanish insurance group that develops public programs in Spain and 38 other countries.
