Spanish Sojourns consists of over 40 major paintings borrowed from important museum and private collections around the country. Many of Henri?s Spanish works were acquired by museums during his lifetime, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art?s Spanish Gypsy (1912), the first painting by an Ashcan School artist to join the collection of that venerable institution. The paintings in the exhibition, nearly all portraits, present a dazzling cross-section of Spanish society as experienced by Henri: famous dancers and dashing bullfighters, intermingled with spirited gypsies, blind street singers, and weathered peasant men. Gathered together for the first time, these paintings reveal Henri?s ongoing commitment to capturing the essence of Spanish tradition and culture through insightful portrayals of unique individuals.
