Docent Rita Dunlay will give an illustrated talk on a selection of Paley’s collection hosted by the de Young Museum. The selections, from The William S. Paley Collection at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, are particularly rich in the works of Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Pablo Picasso, and Henri Matisse, with significant works by Edgar Degas, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Pierre Bonnard, Georges Roualt, and Andre Derain. Among the pieces offered are Gauguin’s The Seed of the Areoi (1892) from the artist’s first visit to Tahiti, Degas’ large-scale pastel and charcoal Two Dancers (1905), Picasso’s celebrated monumental painting, Boy Leading a Horse (1905-1906), Derain’s vibrant Fauve painting Bridge over the Riou (1906), and Matisse’s Odalisque with a Tambourine (1925-26).
