About the Event: Idyllic landscapes, urban scenes and intimate interiors of 19th century American Impressionist oil paintings are presented. Inspired by French artists who founded the Impressionism movement in Europe, American artists adapted glowing colors and fluid brushstrokes to explore light, atmosphere and domestic scenes. Featuring some of the most esteemed American Impressionists including Mary Cassatt, Childe Hassam, Ernest Lawson, John Henry Twachtman and William Wendt, this exhibit highlights how American artists embraced Impressionism to capture the beauty and emotion of countryside and city alike. Information about the history of the 19th century gardening movement will be presented in the gallery and a retail pop-up will accompany the exhibition in the adjacent gallery. Blue Grass, Green Skies was curated by Leah Lembeck, Department Head, European Painting & Sculpture and American Art, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The exhibition is organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and generous support for this project is provided by Art Bridges.
