Richmond exhibition traces what painters did after Impressionism broke through
A show opening November 14 at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts pairs the painters who broke with the Paris exhibition establishment with artists who later challenged their ideas.
A show opening November 14 at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts pairs the painters who broke with the Paris exhibition establishment with artists who later challenged their ideas. The Impressionist Revolution draws on the Dallas Museum of Art’s collection and runs through April 4, 2027.
The Richmond exhibition takes 1874 as its starting point. Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and Berthe Morisot figure in the account of how the independent painters changed both their subjects and how audiences saw their work. The later generation includes Piet Mondrian and Henri Matisse, giving the show a reach well beyond the familiar Impressionist landscape.
VMFA lists adult admission to the exhibition at $20. Youth ages seven through 17 and students with ID pay $10. Museum members and children six and younger enter free.
