The exhibition, organized by Brescia Mostre in cooperation with the Museum Jacquemart-André of Paris, presents the masterpieces of Oscar Ghez's collection kept at the Musée du Petit Palais of Geneva. About one-hundred works on display illustrate one century of art from Impressionism to Neo-impressionism, from the Nabis to Fauvisme, from Cubism to the Ecole de Paris and the fight between Surrealism and Classicism. Apart from works by Caillbotte and Picasso there are also pieces by Corot, Renoir, Manet, Fantin-Latour, Denis, Lacombe, Ranson, Vallotton, Sérusier, Vuillard, Dufy, Van Dongen, Jacob, Utrillo, De Lempicka, Chagall, Soutine, De Chirico, Picabia and many others. The catalogue includes a rich documentation and essays of three curators: Luciano Caramel, Nicolas Fare Garnot and Gilles Gentyil and it narrates, through the reproductions of the works on display, the passion of a collector like Oscar Ghez who operated in the world of art in advance on his time and with great esthetic taste.
