The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston presents the MFAH Friday-Saturday Lecture: The Lens of Impressionism: Art Along the Normandy Coast. Presented by David E. Brauer, Senior Lecturer, Glassell School of Art, MFAH.
The Forest of Fontainebleau outside Paris, with its shady glens, dramatic gorges, and rugged terrain, holds a distinctive place in the history of landscape painting and photography as a crucible of experimentation from the 1820s through the 1870s. At the same time, the Normandy coast, with its constantly changing weather, played a parallel role in the work of many familiar and less familiar artists including Camille Corot, Gustave Courbet, Éugene Boudin, Johan Barthold Jongkind, James McNeill Whistler, and particularly, Claude Monet.
Using examples drawn from the exhibition The Lens of Impressionism at the Dallas Museum of Art, the MFAH collection, and beyond, David E. Brauer explores the profound contribution of the Normandy Coast to the evolution of early Impressionism.
