The Pulitzer has joined forces with the Saint Louis Art Museum and Harvard Art Museum to present Old Master paintings and drawings from their collections.
The selection comprises artworks by renowned artists from the 14th to the 18th centuries, including Michelangelo Buonarroti, Pontormo, Giambattista Tiepolo, Jacob van Ruisdael, and Jean-Baptiste Greuze. The display of these works makes the Pulitzer galleries appear as reminders of historic spaces, such as the Grande Galerie of a seventeenth-century aristocrat or the interiors of Medieval and Renaissance churches. Since Ando sought to emphasize the effects of ever-changing daylight at the Pulitzer, the visitor will be able to see the majority of the works without the assistance of electric lighting. The Pulitzer exhibition therefore hopes to contribute to a better understanding of the viewing conditions of the past, allowing an appreciation of the works outside of the confines of today's traditional museums.
The exhibition brochure provides images of the works in the context of the galleries and gives valuable information on the art and artists featured in the exhibition. Source material from the time of the artists as well as interviews with the curators are included.
