Michael Hafftka, who began this collection in 1973, is a visual artist represented in the permanent collections of The Metropolitan Museum, The MoMA, The Carnegie Museum of Art, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, etc. "He (Hafftka) transfers personal experiences and the universal pain of our species to his canvases with the compassion of a saint and the technical prowess of an Old Master.
