Salon Discussion| The Danish Collector: Delacroix Gauguin Playing at the Salina Art Center Cinema
For many years no-one was interested in the art of the Impressionists. Artists like Monet, Degas and Renoir were vilified, attacked, and left penniless as a result.
Then, something remarkable happened. A new breed of collectors emerged and, before long, they were battling to acquire any work by these new, radical artists that they could find. Amongst them was the visionary Danish businessman Wilhelm Hansen. It was an extraordinary moment in art history; full of drama, intrigue and subterfuge
Local art enthusiasts William Pierson along with John and Deborah Divine will discuss art collecting following the film.
