Inventing Impressionism
Oct 21, 2016 - Jun 11, 2017
When the artists who became known as the Impressionists first presented their
work in 1874, contemporaries perceived their innovative working methods and
unconventional subject matter as a radical departure from accepted ways of
art-making. This selection of paintings and drawings by artists including Paul
颁茅锄补苍苍别, Camille Pissarro, Berthe Morisot, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Mary
Cassatt highlights the Impressionists鈥� creative use of process and materials to
represent contemporary subjects in a way that had never been done before.
Focusing on the RISD Museum鈥檚 depth in this area, the installation features
works on paper that are rarely on view鈥攊ncluding Edgar Degas鈥檚 monumental
pastel, Six Friends at Dieppe鈥攁nd celebrates a recent gift to the
Museum, Claude Monet鈥檚 A Walk in the Meadows at Argenteuil.
