Ben Shahn on view at the Montclair Museum
The Soyer Bequest exhibition will feature around 20 paintings and works on paper by Moses and Raphael Soyer, Ben Shahn, Edward Hopper, Phillip Evergood, Elie Nadelman, Guy Pene du Bois, Joseph Stella, George Bellows, Abraham Walkowitz, and others, including Chaim Gross's carved wood sculpture, Three Acrobats (1928). These works were donated by artist Moses Soyer and his wife Ida, who greatly augmented the Montclair Art Museum's collection in 1974 with a bequest of over 100 works providing crucial representation of American figurative art between the wars.
