Marx and his wife Florene began to form what was to become, as James Thrall Soby states, 'a collection of such authority that it would be difficult to think of its rival among private collections of modern art.' They were not avant-garde, for they confined themselves to the well-known painters of the School of Paris. Yet, as Alfred H. Barr, Jr. points out, 'they were collectors of courage . . . shown in selecting what they felt to be best without regard for conventional proprieties.' They pioneered in being among the first to dare bring into their home paintings that to most collectors at the time would have seemed too big, too aggressive, and too strong to live with--Matisses of the heroic period of 1911 to 1916 cullminating in The Moroccans, Leger's Woman with Cat, an extraordinary range of Picassos demonstrating many aspects of that protean master's style. Other works are smaller in scale or more serene in mood, yet all show the collectors' aim to buy and cherish truly exalted works by artists of international repute. Kept small deliberately by continuous distillation and refinement, the collection has won admiration and deep respect. This book, published on the occasion of the first public showing of the paintings, reproduces them all--more than a third in color. Lucy R. Lippard has provided meticulously researched notes that give much valuable and illuminating information for each painting." - Publisher. Size: 8vo.…
