The works in the display have been drawn solely from the collection of the Davies sisters, who enthusiastically gathered works that reflected the chief movements of the time. They collected during a vital moment in the history of art, when European paintings were undergoing a revolution in style, subject and technique.
The exhibition includes more than 50 works - majority of which have never been disclosed in the United States .This includes masterpieces by Paul Cezanne, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Honore Daumier, Augustus John, Edouard Manet, Jean-Francois Millet, J.M.W. Turner, Vincent van Gogh, Camille Pissarro and Claude Monet.
"Turner to Cezanne" depicts the evolution of early Modern art, commencing with examples of dramatic romanticism exemplified by Turner through the expressionist Post-Impressionism of Vincent Van Gogh. The period of late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries is depicted by the masterworks of Realism, Naturalism, Impressionism and Post-Impressionism painters.
