This volume offers a valuable opportunity to learn about the history and collections of a surprising museum: the Johannesburg Art Gallery, born from the dream of an extraordinary woman, Lady Florence Phillips. Today, the gallery holds a heritage waiting to be discovered, ranging from masterpieces of 19th-century British and French art to works by important African artists.
Published on the occasion of the exhibition in Sarnico, the volume presents sixty works, including oils, watercolors, and graphics, from the prestigious South African gallery. It traces over a century of international art history, from the mid-19th century to the late 20th century, through its greatest interpreters, from Courbet and Monet to Picasso, Bacon, and Warhol.
