MODERN CLASSICS
In pre-war Paris revolutionary movements such as fauvism, cubism and surrealism found their origin. The heart of the collection of Frans Jacobs Fine Art consists of works by Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Maurice Utrillo, Kees van Dongen, Raoul Dufy and others. We also include the generation of artists belonging to the post-war generation and a selection of other modern masters of the 20th century, such as Tamara de Lempicka, Egon Schiele and Lynn Chadwick.

Giacomo Manzu
Giacomo Manzù, pseudonym of Giacomo Manzoni (Bergamo, December 22, 1908 - Rome, January 17, 1991), was the best known Italian sculptor of the 20th century. He was recognized by Western museums and collectors as an important modern artist, while, as a communist, he was celebrated by the Soviet art world as well. Yet he was also a Roman Catholic, a personal friend of Pope John XXIII, and he had important liturgical commissions in St. Peter's itself. In the United States, architect Minoru Yamasaki commissioned him as the sculptor for the Passo di Danza (step of dance) at the One Woodward Avenue building in Detroit, Michigan. He also carved the Nymph and Faun at Wayne State University's McGreagor Memorial sculpture garden in Detroit.
Giacomo Manzù was awarded Lenin Peace Prize for the year 1965.
