Cezanne on View: A major landscape by Paul Cezanne, “Sous-bois” (Under the Trees), a work that has not been seen publicly for 30 years, has been acquired by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art with monies from the Wallis Foundation Fund, in honor of the late filmmaker Hal B. Wallis. The painting will go on display in February to coincide with two special exhibitions at the museum: “Degas to Matisse: The Maurice Wertheim Collection” (Feb. 14-April 25) and “The William S. Paley Collection” (Feb. 25-May 16). The Wallis Foundation Fund is dedicated to acquiring Impressionist and post-Impressionist art for the museum. The establishment of the fund resolved a disagreement resulting from the May, 1989, sale of 12 paintings owned by the Wallis Foundation that had been loaned to the museum.
