Arthur and Marny Solomon—as individuals and as a married couple—assembled a superlative art collection spanning Old Master prints, 19th-century French paintings, and trailblazing contemporary works. This book documents for the first time some of the finest examples from the more than 260 works in the collection, gifted to the Harvard Art Museums by bequest in 2021. Full-page illustrations and new research accompany the works, some never before published, by Dürer, Tiepolo, Fragonard, Géricault, Corot, Delacroix, Degas, Cézanne, Renoir, Henry Moore, David Smith, Kenneth Noland, and Larry Poons, among many others.

Marina Kliger is the Rousseau Curatorial Fellow in European Art; A. Cassandra Albinson is the Margaret S. Winthrop Curator of European Art; and Casey Kane Monahan is the Cunningham Senior Curatorial Assistant for the Collection, all at the Harvard Art Museums.
