American Impressionists Abroad and at Home: Paintings from the Collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art
January 2001–June 2002
Curated by H. Barbara Weinberg and Susan G. Larkin, this exhibition examined the work of twenty-eight American artists living in France and the United States who were profoundly influenced by French Impressionism. The thirty-nine paintings included revealed the diverse responses of the artists to everyday life in a period of dynamic social and economic change. Like their French counterparts, they adopted looser brushwork and a light-saturated palette to depict landscapes, urban scenes, and domestic interiors. Among the artists included were Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam, and John Singer Sargent. Exhibition Itinerary: San Diego Museum of Art (January 27–April 22, 2001); Delaware Art Museum (May 11–August 5, 2001); Cheekwood Museum of Art (August 24–November 18, 2001); Orlando Museum of Art (December 7, 2001–March 3, 2002); and New York State Museum at Albany (March 22–June 16, 2002). The exhibition is organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Federation of Arts. |
