This album introduces one of the greatest museums in the New World—New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Its collections, consisting primarily of gifts and bequeathed private collections, are capable of surprising even the most experienced with their diversity and comprehensiveness. Painting—both European and American—is represented by works by great masters of the past and major contemporary artists. A detailed author's narrative will help the reader understand the distinctive styles of each artist and the logic behind the development of each artistic movement.
The Metropolitan Museum, along with the Louvre and the Hermitage, is one of the three largest museums in the world. Like most American museums, it is a universal institution—its walls house numerous exhibits representing the history and culture of all times and peoples. But its painting collection would be the envy of any European museum: from Duccio to Modigliani, from Hay to Matisse, from Dürer to Beckmann, from El Greco to Dalí and Picasso. American painting is also well represented: from the first portraits of the local aristocracy to works by Pollock and Warhol. On the dust jacket: Claude Monet's "Terrace at Sainte-Adresse (Garden at Sainte-Adresse)."
