The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, has acquired a newly rediscovered masterwork by 19th-century French artist Eugène Delacroix. Women of Algiers in Their Apartment (1833–34) was last recorded in 1850; its rediscovery was announced in Paris in June. The painting is Delacroix’s first version of his famed Femmes d’Alger at the Louvre. The painting will go on view at the Museum on October 3.

Picasso to Hockney: Modern Art on Stage features more than 120 objects from the renowned Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts, an unparalleled treasure-trove of scenic and costume designs amassed by Robert L.B. Tobin, the late San Antonio visionary who recognized and championed theatre arts as fine art. Performance design has increasingly become an essential part of contemporary artists’ creative practice. Modern artists like Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Fernand Léger, Natalia Gontcharova, Joan Miró, Robert Indiana, Louise Nevelson, Robert Wilson, and David Hockney collaborated with the exciting and thought-provoking writers, musicians, and dancers of their day.

Monet to Picasso: A Very Private Collection features paintings by the pivotal artists who sparked the major art movements of the late-19th through mid-20th century. Assembled over decades, these paintings chronicle key moments in the development of modern art in Paris: the evolution of Impressionism from its roots in the work of artists including Corot, and represented by the work of Cassatt, Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, and Sisley; the emergence of the Post-Impressionist painters, including Cézanne, Gauguin, and van Gogh; and the leading figures of 20th-century abstraction, such as Braque, Gris, Léger, Matisse, and Picasso.
