Defying popular taste, the sisters
followed their instincts and purchased paintings, sculpture, drawings, and
prints from Matisse. As years passed, the citizens of Baltimore became more
accepting of “modern art,” and in 1950 the Cone sisters’ splendid collection of
paintings of Matisse and other modern masters was given to The Baltimore Museum
of Art for the world to enjoy. Thanks to the Cone sisters’ devotion to Matisse
and their passion for his work, we are able to savor the artist’s unique
sensibility and creative vision.
