Rosengart Collection Museum

One of the highlights of the day was the Rosegart Collection of impressionist, post-impressionist, and modern art. Collected by Siegfried Rosegart, who was a personal friend to many of the artists represented, as well as a collector. The collection focuses on Picasso--the full chronology of all his "periods" are represented, as well as many media. One unexpected highlight was the display of candid, up close and personal photographs taken by David Douglas Duncan, an American, in Picasso's later years. Gave great insight into the man, his work and home life, and his last love, Jacqueline. The rest of the collection is a who's who of any art history class--Monet to Matisse to Miro. And a pallate used by Chagall was fascinating. We both really enjoyed our couple of hours browsing here. (Sorry no photos allowed...)
