Highlights from the Permanent Collection
Paintings at the Picker Art Gallery, 16th – 20th centuries

The Picker Art Gallery is the repository of over 11,000 works of art, including nearly 900 paintings. Due to limited exhibition space, the public rarely has the opportunity to see the majority of these objects. In Highlights from the Permanent Collection, we offer a sampling of our finest paintings from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. One sculpture, an outstanding portrait head in wax of Marianna Mattiocco della Torre by August Rodin, will also be included. The paintings range in subject matter from landscapes by well-known artists such as Camille Corot, Maurice Prendergast, and Jean Dufy; to portraits by Milton Avery, Alice Neal, and John T. Graham. A lovely seventeenth century portrait of the young John Milton by Cornelius Janssens Cuelen and a delicate abstraction from the Camas Series by Native American artist Jaune Quick-to-See Smith will also be featured. The visual treasures in this exhibition provide nourishment for the mind and for the soul.
