Newcomers may prefer to start at the top with the Impressionists and Post- Renoir , Cezanne , Manet , Monet , Toulouse-Lautrec , Degas , and Van Gogh ( this is the best collection of his work outside Amsterdam , with several works from the frenzied months of activity before he died in 1890 ) .
Newcomers might want to stop with Impressionists because they are the most recognizable artists .
