MoMA opened with an exhibition devoted to Cézanne, Gauguin, Seurat and Van Gogh. Organized by Alfred H. Barr Jr., it presented these four painters as essential reference points for modern art. Loans assembled for the inaugural show established an early framework for the museum’s account of the relationship between nineteenth-century painting and the art of its own time.
Also recorded as: Cézanne, Gauguin, Seurat, van Gogh
