In 1945, the New York-born entrepreneur Henry Pearlman made his first art acquisition. It was a landscape by Chaim Soutine called View of Céret, painted in 1921 when the artist was in the Midi. The purchase was a turning point for Pearlman. In the decades to come he would develop a fascination with the Post-Impressionists, buying work by Modigliani, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Renoir, Manet, Matisse, and Toulouse-Lautrec. In particular, he studied how their work changed as they traveled around Europe. This exhibition of 40 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper from Pearlman’s collection explores the intersecting lives of those peripatetic artists. —Elena Clavarino
