部分收藏家**前瞻性与奉献精神，他们不仅将一些杰出的藏品组织起来，还在公共博物馆中展出让世界群众皆可欣赏。其中包括伦敦的Samuel Courtauld和卑尔根的Rasmus Meyer。对收藏家而言，每个人的收藏核心必然是他们最欣赏的艺术家：对Courtauld来说是保罗•塞尚，对Meyer来说，则是爱德华•蒙克。本书住展示的是卑尔根的KODE艺术博物馆和伦敦的Courtauld艺术博物馆之间进行的联动，通过在卑尔根展示塞尚和在伦敦展示蒙克的杰作，来庆祝这两位杰出的收藏家和两位伟大的艺术家。本书不仅介绍了库陶尔德美术馆的10件关键作品以及挪威收藏的塞尚作品，还通过对比1900年前后挪威艺术界的视角，将这些作品与塞尚早期的作品结合起来。

There are some collectors who through foresight and dedication have built truly outstanding art collections and shared them widely as part of public museums.

Among these were Samuel Courtauld in London and Rasmus Meyer in Bergen. At the heart of each man's collection were single artists who were their greatest passions: for Courtauld it was Paul Cézanne and for Meyer, Edvard Munch. This unique collaboration between KODE art museums in Bergen and The Courtauld in London, celebrates these two remarkable collectors and two great artists by showing masterpieces by Cézanne in Bergen and Munch in London. This publication not only presents ten key works from The Courtauld along with Cézannes from Norwegian collections, it also brings them together with eye witness accounts from the early years of his profound influence, seen through the lens of the Norwegian art scene around 1900.

With essays by Barnaby Wright, Øystein Sjåstad and Karen Serres and an introduction by Line Daatland. Forewords by Petter Snare and Ernst Vegelin van Claerbergen.
