Inspiring Impressionism launches an in-depth exploration of the links between the Impressionists and the artists...
Inspiring Impressionism launches an in-depth exploration of the links between the Impressionists and the artists that preceded them. Beneath the Impressionists’ commitment to capturing contemporary life lay a deep exploration of the art of the past including their more recent early 19th-century predecessors. The Impressionists learned from artists by making painstaking oil paintings, watercolors and drawings executed in museums, primarily the Louvre. These copies will be shown with the Old Masters’ works that inspired them. The exhibition is organized according to subject—portraits, still-lifes, landscapes, interiors and nudes—with specific comparisons drawn between particular works, as well as broader connections relating to issues of subject, composition and technique.
