Bringing together nearly 40 works from the prestigious Hammer Museum (UCLA, Los Angeles), the exhibition (De Rembrandt à Van Gogh. Collection Armand Hammer, Los Angeles) takes visitors on a journey through European and American painting, from the Renaissance to the early 20th century.
European masters (Rembrandt to Van Gogh, Fragonard to Monet) and American artists of the early 20th century come together in Martigny. The exhibition reveals the fascinating history of transatlantic art.
The collection of American Armand Hammer (1898-1990), a visionary industrialist, passionate patron and erudite collector, is at the centre of this exhibition.
This collection is an aesthetic odyssey, guided by a search for harmony, transmission and understanding of the world through the eyes of art.
