Book
Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. The Norfolk museum that would one day bear the Chrysler name wasalways a good museum of its kind, home to a respectable collection serving asmallish city. But when Norfolk native Jean Outland married Walter Chrysler, heir tothe automobile manufacturing fortune and an avid art collector, the museum found aperson with whom its fortunes would be intertwined, sometimes spectacularly, fordecades to come. Walter had already established a Chrysler Museum in Provincetown, Massachusetts, but in 1971 -- in need of more space and, admittedly, a fresh start-- he relocated the operation to Norfolk. Themuseum that had once fretted over the possible purchase of a minor C zanne becauseit would by itself deplete the entire budget now found itself playing host almostovernight to works by the Old Masters as well as many of the most notable modernartists. Chrysler's was a world-class art collection, containing pieces by, amongothers, Fragonard, Ingres, G ricault, Tiffany, Matisse, and Braque. The groundworkwas laid for Norfolk's place on the cultural map. In Legacy, Peggy Earle paints a vivid picture of this provincial museum'stransformation into one of the finest art museums on the East Coast. She alsodelivers a captivating portrait of Walter Chrysler, a generous and demanding man whofound in art patronage a focus not only for his wealth but also for his tremendousenergy. Not content to merely admire the work, Walter had a naturally gregariousside and was apt to deal with artists such as Pablo Picasso directly. And yet he wasalso intensely private. Earle provides readers with a fascinating view of thepolitics of the museum world, where even good relationships are never uncomplicated.(The addition of the Chrysler collection's works to the museum was not unanimouslyapplauded by the community; nor was it a foregone conclusion that, upon Chrysler'sdeath, the pieces would even stay with themuseum.) This lively account of the unlikelyunion between an arts maverick and a city on the cusp of cultural evolution shedsnew light on how great art finds a place to call home.
