Description: Manet to Matisse: The Hillman Family Collection is a history and catalogue of one of the foremost art collections formed in America in the 1950s and 1960s. The collection is best known for its Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and early modern masters, among them Bonnard, Braque, Dufy, Gris, Manet, Matisse, Modigliani, Picasso, Pissarro, Renoir, and Rouault. The Hillman Collection also includes works by Americans of the WPA era and postwar European artists.

The introductory essays document the acquisitions made by the Hillmans over three decades and analyze many of the best-known images in an art historical context. The seventy-eight paintings, sculptures, and works on paper are illustrated in color and accompanied by detailed catalogue entries with complete exhibition histories and bibliographic references. An illustrated Appendix listing works formerly in the Hillman Collection is also included.
