About The Collection
Early 20th-Century European Art
The core of VMFA’s holdings of Early 20th-Century European Art are the collections of Ludwig and Rosy Fischer and T. Catesby Jones. The T. Catesby Jones Collection includes leading figures in French art such as Matisse, Picasso, Braque, and Masson. Its arrival in 1947 marked the museum’s initial foray into Modernism. Sixty years later, the Fischer Collection—with outstanding works by Kirchner, Müller, Pechstein, Nolde, and Felixmüller—elevated VMFA’s holdings of German Expressionism to international significance.
