Impressionism In The Northwest
In the early twentieth century, American Impressionism became a movement in its own right, breaking away from the European tradition in a number of ways. Building upon earlier experiments with light and color, artists in the United States utilized broken brushstrokes in novel ways to depict the wide-ranging landscapes of North America. Many exhibitions and publications have explored these differences with respect to artists working on the east coast and, to a lesser degree, in California. Only recently has Impressionism in the Northwest garnered increased academic and public interest.
