Published in its entirety for the first time, this collection—including sculptures by Rodin, Maillol, and Moore, paintings by Monet, Cézanne, Léger, Picasso, Braque, Vuillard, De Chirico, Miró, and Magritte, and works on paper by Chagall, Pissarro, and Degas—offers a compelling and disarmingly personal panorama of the Modernist century, the period from 1870 to 1970 when art revolutionized our ways of seeing.

George T. M. Shackelford is the Chair and Arthur K. Solomon Curator of Modern Art for the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
