Description: "Annotated and illustrated catalog of the art collection of the BCV, divided into two sections corresponding to 19th and 20th centuries. Includes a unique group of Camille Pisarro's watercolors acquired by the bank in 1965; it is believed that the French impressionist executed the paintings during his stay in Venezuela. Roberto Montero Castro presents the collection and traces its history. Collection is representative of the evolution of the visual arts in Venezuela, with an emphasis on painting"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
