Beauty Unusual : Masterworks from the Ceil Pulitzer Collection of African Art Hardback
by Susan Kloman
Hardback
Description
“As an artist, I look for beauty in things, and appreciate the unusual.” - Ceil PulitzerCeil Pulitzer started her journey as a collector of African art more than 30 years ago.
Her artistic spirit has drawn her to all forms of culture and human expression.
As a dedicated painter, she has relentlessly exercised her eye in the study of art and art history. As a collector of modern art first, she understood that African art shaped the trajectory of 20th-century art.
Later, in Paris, she met the venerable expert and legendary dealer of African art, Charles Ratton.
In one brief meeting, he said to her: “You have a good eye.” This encounter distilled her passion and pursuit of excellence in classical African art.
The Ceil and Michael Pulitzer Foundation has developed and supported a number of philanthropic endeavours in Africa, and in major institutions that promote the art of Africa and humanitarian efforts there.
