A Tribute to Ayala Zacks (1912\u20132011) opens April 4, 2012 in the Frank P. Wood Gallery and includes significant works by celebrated artists including Marc Chagall, Giorgio de Chirico, Edgar Degas, Sonia Delaunay, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani and Pablo Picasso.<\/p>\n<p>Ayala Zacks and her husband, Sam Zacks, were committed and active supporters of the AGO. Following Mr. Zacks\u2019 death in 1970, Ms. Zacks donated more than 300 works of European and Canadian modern art to the AGO collection. A Tribute to Ayala Zacks (1912\u20132011) honours the transformational effect that this gift had on the Gallery\u2019s modern art collection and the leadership role that the couple played both at the AGO and within Toronto&#8217;s artistic community.<\/p>\n<p>Among the exhibition\u2019s highlights is the first cast of Henri Matisse\u2019s crucial early bronze, Figure d\u00e9corative (1908), a powerful figure that the artist portrayed in his renowned painting Red Studio (1911). The work\u2019s inclusion in A Tribute to Ayala Zacks (1912\u20132011) marks the first time in decades it is on view in Toronto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>April 4, 2012 \u2013 February, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>ART GALLERY OF ONTARIO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>the gift includes significant works by celebrated artists including Marc Chagall, Giorgio de Chirico, Edgar Degas, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani <\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=8869\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8908,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-listings_archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8869"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8869\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17109,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8869\/revisions\/17109"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
