Henri Matisse's Femme au chapeau revolutionized modern art with bold colors and loose brushstrokes, establishing him as a leader in the post-Impressionist movement.
"This first pleasant experience with a modern painting started me on a road of adventure that has been both exhilarating and satisfying," Pearlman once said of another painting by Soutine, called Village Square. "I haven't spent a boring evening since that first purchase."
"So much has been written about Bloomsbury art," wrote the British historian Fiona MacCarthy in 1999, "it is easy to forget how little we have seen of it." Nearly three decades on, this remains true for the person long thought to be the most important in the group. The forthcoming solo presentation of paintings by Roger Fry (1866-1934) at Charleston in Firle, East Sussex, aims to rectify this oversight.
