Artists in Motion
Modern Masterpieces from
the Pearlman Collection
Artists in Motion: Modern Masterpieces from the Pearlman Collection explores the work of celebrated late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century artists such as Paul Cézanne, Amedeo Modigliani, Chaïm Soutine, Vincent van Gogh, and others within the context of their personal experiences of transience. The catalogue's introduction considers how resonances between these artists' lives and Henry Pearlman's own life and travels may have influenced his collecting. Original works by three poets and an interview with the artist Zhang Hongtu offer contemporary perspectives on the connections between migration and creativity.
