The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents two winter exhibitions celebrating the layered histories of LACMA’s Impressionist and Postimpressionist art holdings: Collecting impressionism at LACMA and Village square: gifts of modern art from the Pearlman Collection to the Brooklyn Museum, LACMA, and MoMA.

Opening December 21, Collecting impressionism looks back at the evolving tastes that have shaped the museum's beloved collection of Impressionist art. The exhibition traces early donations of California and American Impressionist pictures, strategic acquisitions in prints, photographs, fashion, and decorative arts, as well as the most recent gifts including The artist’s garden, Vétheuil (1881) by Claude Monet and Tarascon Stagecoach (1888), the museum’s first painting by Vincent van Gogh. The exhibition’s featured works underscore the continued generosity of LACMA’s community of donors.

Taking a closer look at the latest chapter in this history of giving, Village square introduces recent gifts from the Henry and Rose Pearlman Foundation. On view February 22–July 5, 2026, Village square showcases expressive landscapes and striking portraits by Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet, Amedeo Modigliani, Alfred Sisley, Chaïm Soutine, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and others. This exceptional group of Impressionist, Postimpressionist, and modern artworks were gifted to the Brooklyn Museum, LACMA, and MoMA in a novel sharing arrangement that will maximize their time on view across the three institutions and beyond. This commitment by the Henry and Rose Pearlman Foundation and the recipient institutions ensures larger audiences will have access to the artworks and reflects Henry and Rose's vision of permanently sharing their collection with the public.

“Over the past six decades, artists, donors, dealers, and curators have helped LACMA grow its impressive holdings of Impressionist and Postimpressionist art in pace with the growth of the institution itself,” said Michael Govan, LACMA CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director. “Their generosity helped shape LACMA’s collection and ultimately transformed Los Angeles into a cultural capital. We are thrilled to celebrate the continuation of this tradition with the debut of significant gifts from A. Jerrold Perenchio and the Pearlman Foundation and family.”
