Forty paintings by Claude Monet, Edouard Manet, J.M.W. Turner, Vincent Van Gogh, Gustav Klimt and Edward Hopper will go on view at the Portland Art Museum, beginning in October, 2015. The paintings, all landscapes, belong to Paul Allen.
"Seeing Nature: Landscape Masterworks from the Paul G. Allen Family Collection" covers five centuries of paintings from the collection of the Microsoft co-founder. The Seattle Art Museum, Portland Art Museum and the Allen Family Collection organized the exhibition, which travels to the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the New Orleans Museum of Art before closing at the Seattle Art Museum in early 2017.
The show includes five Monet landscapes spanning 30 years, revealing the French countryside and one of his late water lilies. The exhibit also includes Georgia O'Keeffe, Hopper, David Hockney, Gerhard Richter and Ed Ruscha.
