Chasing Degas: Reflections of a
Collector in Pursuit of This Elusive
Master Over Four Decades
The great French artist Edgar Degas (1834-1917) once said, "I wish to be illustrious and unknown." To a great extent, his wish has been granted. By the time of Degas' death more than 90 years ago, his art had become famous. His reputation since has only grown. Yet the individual who was so very accomplished in many artistic endeavors – from drawing, painting and printmaking to sculpture and photography – has remained elusive. This lecture ties in with the Naples Museum of Art exhibition Edgar Degas: The Private Impressionist.

From Prendergast to Pollock
Edward Wales Root: American Talent Scout
Edward Wales Root (1884-1965) was one of the first Americans to collect important works by the progressive and avant-garde painters who today define the expressive parameters of early 20th-century American art. Because Root strove to keep current with the latest developments in contemporary art, the more than 200 paintings and works on paper that he ultimately bequeathed to the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute represent a veritable "who's who" of the first six decades of 20th-century American art. Dr. Schweizer has served as director of the Institute's Museum of Art for more than three decades. This lecture ties in with the Naples Museum of Art exhibition From Prendergast to Pollock.
