Memphis Brooks Museum


Lot of good paintings here mostly American, early modern. Not much in the contemporary vein.


This is a Monticelli painting a painter Van Gogh liked. It is interesting here as a few Blakelocks they also have make a link then to Ryder and then to Pollock.

Blakelock.


There was another good Inness painting in Oklahoma City.


Very Contemporary light in this Homer-- to Porter and Katz.


Kuhn is always startling.


A Dove.


Also interesting in relation to a O'Keeffe at Oklahoma Museum.


Henri painting which is like a Manet or Hals.


A great Vuillard. Great flatness and awareness of surface and design.


Great Egyptian head.
