Exhibition on Screen: The Artist’s Garden - American Impressionism
Despite its roots in the work of French impressionists like Renoir and Monet, the American impressionist movement developed its own distinctive style over a forty-year span that says as much about the United States as it does about its artistic prowess. A passion for gardens and the need to protect the natural world in an increasingly urbanized country are central to the plot. This stunning film is an absolute visual feast, as it visits studios, gardens, and landmarks all throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, and France. This show comprises works from the popular exhibition The Artist's Garden: American Impressionism and the Garden Movement,1887–1920, which traveled from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts to the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme, Connecticut.
