Chester Dale (1883-1962) is best known for the magnificent paintings he
bequeathed to the National Gallery of Art, which he acquired with the
expert guidance of his first wife, Maud (1876-1953). They assembled one
of the finest collections in America of late nineteenth- and early
twentieth-century paintings. Featuring great masterpieces of French
impressionism and post-impressionism by such artists as Degas, Renoir,
Cézanne, and Van Gogh, the Dale collection also includes earlier
paintings that influenced these works as well as those that followed.
Particular favorites of the Dales were Picasso and Modigliani, but they
collected expansively-from El Greco and Boucher to George Bellows and
Salvador Dalí.
This lavishly illustrated volume celebrates the Chester Dale Collection
at the National Gallery. Two essays and a detailed chronology document
the building of the collection and the lives of the collectors, and a
dramatic foldout provides a graphic presentation of the Dales'
acquisition activity.
