Exhibition on Screen: The Artist's Garden: American Impressionism (2017) Synopsis

Taking its lead from French artists like Renoir and Monet, the American impressionist movement followed its own path which over a forty-year period (the garden movement, 1887-1920) reveals as much about America as a nation as it does about its art as a creative power-house. It's a story closely tied to a love of gardens and a desire to preserve nature in a rapidly urbanizing nation.—Canon y mus
