About

The International Art Collection profiles early European religious painting, British portraits, Dutch still lifes, and East Asian and European porcelain. From the influence of Japanese art on French Modernism to the representation of daily life, this display explores rich dialogues across time and between cultures, occasionally interspersed with contemporary works that reflect on these themes and histories.
