At the Barnes Foundation in wealthy suburban Merion, PA. The above painting grabbed my attention amid the sublime Matisses, Renoirs, and Cezannes in the main vestibule.
Some new names I discovered today: Soutine and Pippin (purple has never been so royal than in his Christ and woman of Samaria); and a new appreciation for Modigliani.
Googling for other works I found intriguing in the museum, but yielded little or no results. The Foundation keeps a tight leash on their collection it seems.
(In keeping with the Foundation's displays, no title will be given for the above.)
