Just openedCézanne to Modigliani: Gifts of Modern Art from the Pearlman CollectionThrough April 18, 2027

At the Brooklyn Museum, “Cézanne to Modigliani: Gifts of Modern Art from the Pearlman Collection” presents a focused view of European modernism through works assembled by New York collectors Robert and Audrey Pearlman and later given to Princeton University. The exhibition traces a line from Cézanne’s structural experiments to Modigliani’s pared-down figuration, with key stops in Renoir, Van Gogh, and Soutine. In New York, the show reads as a reminder of how private collecting helped shape what U.S. audiences came to recognize as modern art. The installation’s clarity makes the argument without forcing it.
