Transcending Vision: American Impressionism 1870-1940
This exhibition features 125 paintings that demonstrate how American artists successfully transform French Impressionism into their own artistic style. The redefined Impressionism as a means of depicting the American rural and urban landscape and of expressing ideas about how the rapidly changing country saw itself. The works in the exhibition, by a diverse group of more than 75 American artists, trace not only the development of Impressionism in America, but also the emergence of a truly American style of painting. Paintings by artists such as Herman Herzog, Childe Hassam, George Inness and John Sloan illustrate the full range of Impressionist qualities that captivated artists and audiences during that period, as they still do today. This exhibition is provided by Bank of America Art in our Communities program.
