Impressionism and Modernity: French and American Painting

 Jepson Center
In celebration of Telfair Museums’ 140th anniversary, Impressionism and Modernity: French and American Painting brings together Telfair’s prominent collection of Impressionist art with key counterparts from the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C, including paintings by Edgar Degas (1834–1917), Alfred Sisley (1839–99) Vincent van Gogh (1853–90), among others. Through a series of works that attest to themes of modern life, leisure, and spectacle, the modern city, and nostalgia for the natural landscape in a rapidly changing world, this exhibition aims to show how Impressionism originated and developed with the introduction of modern art to the United States and to American institutions.
