A Note for the Granddaughters

Years ago, in another life, we saw "Whistler's Mother" at the Musee d'Orsay in Paris. The Los Angeles Times is reporting:

James Abbott McNeill Whistler's iconic 1871 painting "Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1," better known as "Portrait of the Artist's Mother," is coming to Pasadena's Norton Simon Museum in March as part of an exchange with the Musée d’Orsay in Paris.

The first-time collaboration between the museums will see three 19th century masterpieces from the Norton Simon traveling to the Musée d’Orsay, while three paintings from the Paris museum will visit Pasadena. 

The six paintings will be on display simultaneously March 27 to June 22. "We went back and forth about the kinds of pictures we wanted to show," said Carol Togneri, Norton Simon's chief curator, about discussions between Norton Simon President Walter W. Timoshuk and D'Orsay President Guy Cogeval.

"Both decided it was important to give the public a sense of what each museum had in its 19th century collection."

The other representatives from the D'Orsay are Édouard Manet’s "Emile Zola," 1868, and Paul Cézanne’s "The Card Players," circa 1892–96.

The Norton Simon will send Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s "The Pont des Arts, Paris," 1867–68; Vincent van Gogh’s "Portrait of a Peasant (Patience Escalier)," 1888; and Édouard Vuillard’s "First Fruits," 1899, to Paris.
