DIXON COLLECTION

Memphian Hugo N. Dixon donated paintings from his personal collection to the Brooks Museum from 1952 through 1964. This gift included works by Impressionist artists Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, Pierre Auguste Renoir, and Édouard Vuillard. As he retained life interest, the seven Impressionists works and two British portraits remained in his home until his death in 1974. After receiving the works in 1975, Brooks lent them back to the newly created Dixon Gallery and Gardens until January of 1978. Finally, upon their return, the celebrated Dixon gift went on public display in Brooks’ permanent collection galleries.
