In the early part of the twentieth century, two extraordinarily forward-thinking Welsh women, Gwendoline and Margaret Davies, amassed a collection of work by the most important names in the Realist, Naturalist, Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and Fauvist movements at a time when modern art, especially French art, was largely ignored in Britain. "Turner to Cezanne" documents the Davies Collection, a remarkable group of 19th and 20th century paintings including masterpieces by Cezanne, Corot, Manet, Millet, Monet, Pissaro, and Van Gogh; all are fine examples of works by the key figures in the development of French art and some of the British artists to whom the great figures of Impressionism were indebted. This catalogue with its detailed histories of each piece, can therefore act as a rich introduction to the evolution of modern art in Europe.
