Inspiring Impressionism: The Impressionists and the Art of the Past 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
|
While defining the specific characteristics that, in its time, made Impressionism provocative and new—a focus on everyday subjects, spontaneity, luminosity, loose brushwork—Inspiring Impressionism launches an in-depth exploration of the links between the Impressionists and the major European art historical movements that preceded them.
Beneath the Impressionists’ commitment to capturing contemporary life, there lay a deep exploration of the art of the past, as well as of their more recent early-19th-century predecessors. The Impressionists learned from art historical sources by making painstaking oil copies executed at such museums as the Louvre. These copies, as well as drawings and sketchbook studies by the Impressionists, are shown with the Old Masters works they copied.
