Event Description
After a two-year tour of the southeastern United States, the High Museum of Art’s collection of European and American Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings and works on paper has returned home. The collection now includes multiple works by Monet, Pissarro, Degas and Renoir. The works trace the history of Impressionism from its beginnings in the works of Eugène Boudin and Frédéric Bazille to the classic Impressionism of Monet and Pissarro to the various later off-shoots that are now called Post-Impressionism with works by Pierre Bonnard and Édouard Vuillard. In addition to European art, the High also possesses a fine collection of works by American artists who were either directly or indirectly influenced by Impressionism. Artists living abroad, such as John Singer Sargent and Mary Cassatt, moved in the heart of the Impressionist circle and were among the first American painters to adopt the new style of painting.
