A selection of masters from the 17th-20th centuries were shown, including: Rembrandt van Rijn, Albercht Durer, Francisco Goya, Wallerant Valliant, Giovanni Piranesi, Honore Daumier, Max Pechstein, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Andre Derain, Jacques Villon, Tod Lindenmuth, Raoul Dufy, Jan Matulka, Fritz Eichenburg, George Bellows, Edward Hopper, Martin Lewis, Harriet Lanfair, Pablo Picasso, Louis Lozowick, Letterio Calapai, Joseph Hirsch, Armin Landeck, Barnett Newman, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Helen Frankenthaler, and Kiki Smith.
