Modern Masters, a selection of rare prints by Picasso, Miro, Chagall and Dali, will be at the Gunnar Nordstrom Gallery in Bellevue from April 14 through May 9.

The term Modern Masters includes artists over the past 100 years from 1900 - 2000. Revolutionary art movements such as Surrealism, Cubism, Expressionism, Abstraction and Pop were the most expansive movements in art history to ever take place during a relatively short period of time, Nordstrom noted.

Names such as Picasso, Chagall, Miro and Dali are the linked most commonly to the term Modern Masters and while there are many other important and critically acclaimed artists spanning the past hundred years, these are the most significant and commonly known.

"Modern Master works are not readily available," Nordstrom said. "They're rare, not available from one source and often expensive which can create a variety of challenges when assembling an exhibit with such variables."

Nordstrom has sold a variety of works including Picasso, Chagall, Miro and Dali and wanted to assemble a small collection by the artists for sale in his new Bellevue location.

An opening reception will be from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, April 14.

The gallery is located at 800 Bellevue Way NE, #111.
