Tinterow discusses his experience as former chairman of the Met’s department of nineteenth-century, modern, and contemporary art, and the collectors and acquisitions that shaped the history of the museum. After nearly three decades at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Tinterow is now director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

Tinterow is regarded as one of the most active curators in the United States. A curator at the Met from 1983 until his appointment as director of the MFA, Houston in 2011, he organized some of the Metropolitan’s best-known and most popular exhibitions focusing on French artists from Ingres and Corot to Degas and Seurat. With the Musée d’Orsay he curated a series of thematic exhibitions: Origins of Impressionism in 1994; Manet/Velázquez: The French Taste for Spanish Painting in 2003; and Cézanne to Picasso: Ambroise Vollard, Patron of the Avant-Garde in 2006. For his service to French culture he has been made an Officier of the Ordre des Arts et Lettres and a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. Currently he is embarking on a major expansion project for the MFA, Houston, with Steven Holl Architects.

Tinterow has contributed to dozens of exhibition catalogues and scholarly articles and has lectured extensively around the world.
