Featuring the McNay’s collection of modern and contemporary drawings, collages and watercolors, “Homer to Hockney” showcases more than 40 rarely displayed works on paper. Because of the artworks’ light sensitivity, this is only the second opportunity to see such a large selection of these masterpieces at one time.

Included in the exhibition are some of Marion Koogler McNay’s founding bequests, including Charles Demuth’s masterful watercolor From the Kitchen Garden. Two great contemporary drawings, David Hockney’s Looking at Pictures and Ed Ruscha’s Fly, both included in the bequest of the Los Angeles collector Robert H. Halff, will represent the museum’s growing collection of post-1945 drawings.

Other featured pieces include works by renowned masters such as Mary Cassatt, Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, Diego Rivera and John Marin.
