Potter Palmer II was the son of Potter (1826-1902) and Bertha Palmer
(née Bertha Matilde Honoré; 1849-1918), who bequeathed the paintings
that form the core of The Art Institute of Chicago’s much-admired
Impressionist art collection. Potter Palmer II served as the president of the
museum from 1925 to 1943, as well as a trustee for two decades, and he
was also a member of the Orientals. He and his wife Pauline (née Pauline
Blake Kohlsaat; 1882-1956) donated numerous Chinese works of art from
their collection to The Art Institute of Chicago, and this exceptional family
tradition of generosity was continued by subsequent generations of the
Palmers.
