Restoring a “perfect painter” to the Cubist canonJuan Gris (1887–1927) was central to the development of Cubism in the early 20th century. Though the writer and art collector Gertrude Stein considered him a “perfect painter,” Gris’s pivotal role within the movement has often been overshadowed. Cubism in Color: The Still Lifes of Juan Gris reveals the virtuosic range of the artist’s short yet prolific career, illuminating his boundary-pushing contributions to Cubism.  As a thorough examination of Gris’s still lifes, Cubism in Color provides an important reassessment of this underappreciated artist, reestablishing his position as a modernist master. This fully illustrated volume traces the evolution of Gris’s aesthetic and approach to still life through a selection of key works. It includes original essays by leading scholars in the field, offering new insights on Gris’s elusive artistic process, the history of collecting his work in the United States and his native Spain, and his artistic legacy within modern and contemporary Latin American art.Distributed for the Dallas Museum of Art and The Baltimore Museum of ArtExhibition Schedule:Dallas Museum of Art(March 14–July 25, 2021)The Baltimore Museum of Art(September 12, 2021–January 9, 2022)

The revolutionary roots of the artists collective known as the Impressionists—and the course they charted for modern art The Impressionist Revolution: Monet to Matisse from the Dallas Museum of Art chronicles the evolution of a movement, from its inception in 1874 to its early twentieth-century legacy. The Impressionists—whose pioneering members included Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Berthe Morisot—deviated from artistic norms in subject matter, style, and exhibition practices, reshaping the definition of artistic innovation at the time and beyond. Drawing exclusively from the Dallas Museum of Art’s collection, this book illuminates the genesis of the Impressionist collective, its key figures, and what made their work so revolutionary. The narrative extends beyond the group’s final exhibition in 1886, exploring how Post-Impressionists both embraced and challenged Impressionist aesthetics, influencing a fresh wave of artists—including Henri Matisse, Piet Mondrian, and Alexei Jawlensky—who ushered in a new avant-garde for the early twentieth century. Distributed for the Dallas Museum of Art Exhibition Schedule:Dallas Museum of Art(February 11–November 3, 2024)Santa Barbara Museum of Art(October 5, 2025–January 25, 2026)Frist Art Museum, Nashville, TN(February 27–May 31, 2026)Art Gallery Ontario, Toronto(June 27–October 18, 2026)Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond(November 14, 2026–April 4, 2027)Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA), Brisbane(June 19–October 4, 2027)
