Denise Coates Exhibition Galleries, Floor 3

The �鶹��ý���� Gallery presents an exceptional selection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings in the first ever exhibition of the Oskar Reinhart Collection ‘Am Römerholz’ to be staged outside of Winterthur, Switzerland. This exhibition is a unique opportunity to see some of its masterpieces – including works by Goya,��Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh, Picasso,and Cezanne among others.

The exhibition opens with a group of major paintings by artists who preceded the Impressionists, including �ҴDzⲹ’s highly charged Still Life with Three Salmon Steaks (c.1808-12), ��é���������ܱ���’s  moving A Man Suffering from Delusions of Military Rank (c.1819-22) and ��dzܰ������’s provocative The Hammock (1844).

At the heart of the exhibition are some of the greatest paintings of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, including �մdzܱ��dzܲ���-�����ٰܳ���’s striking representation of the female performer  The Clown Cha-U-Kao (1895), �Ѳ��Ա��’s groundbreaking depiction of modern life  Au Café (1878), and a group of sensational works by Renoir and Cezanne.  A further highlight is the pair of celebrated paintings by Van Gogh, A Ward in the Hospital at Arles and The Courtyard of the Hospital at Arles (1889), which illustrate the hospital where he had been a patient following his earlier mental breakdown and the mutilation of his ear, as seen in Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear in The �鶹��ý����’s collection.

About the Oskar Reinhart Collection ‘Am Römerholz’

The Oskar Reinhart Collection ‘Am Römerholz’ in Winterthur, Switzerland, is one of the most remarkable art museums of its kind, with a collection that ranges from superlative old master paintings and drawings to a fabled group of Impressionist art. Featuring over 200 works of art, the collection was assembled in the first half of the 20th century by Oskar Reinhart (1885-1965), whose family was associated with one of the world’s leading trading companies.  Reinhart bequeathed his collection and house to the Swiss confederation, and it opened as a public museum in 1970 in his beautiful, large villa on the outskirts of Winterthur, close to Zurich, called ‘Am Römerholz’.

Oskar Reinhart was a direct contemporary of Samuel �鶹��ý����, founder of The �鶹��ý���� Institute of Art. They shared a similar taste in artists and are known to have met in 1932, the year when The �鶹��ý���� was founded. The Reinhart Collection’s close affinities with that of The �鶹��ý���� Gallery’s permanent collection provide the perfect context to stage this unprecedented exhibition, which brings many of Reinhart’s paintings to the United Kingdom for the very first time.
