Travelling to studios\, gardens and iconic locations throughout the United States\, UK and France\, this mesmerising film is a feast for the eyes. \n“Captivating”   The Times \nIn 1886\, the French art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel brought a selection of his huge stock of impressionist paintings to New York\, changing the course of art in America forever. \nAmerican artists flocked to the French village of Giverny\, home to the master impressionist Claude Monet\, and cheered the French new wave: painting outdoors with a new found brilliance and vitality. As Europe recoiled against the work of Monet\, Degas and Renoir\, Americans embraced it and created their own style of impressionism. \nAs America made its epic move from a nation of farmers to a land of factories\, the pioneering American Impressionists crafted a sumptuous visual language that told the story of an era. \nThe Artist’s Garden: American Impressionism features the sell-out exhibition The Artist’s Garden: American Impressionism and the Garden Movement\, 1887–1920 that began at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and ended at the Florence Griswold Museum\, Old Lyme\, Connecticut. \nDirected by Phil Grabsky \nCost\nRegular: $14Capri Member: $12 \n \n Purchase Tickets\n \nResources\n\n\n \n Capri Theatre\n \n \n\n \n Exhibition on Screen\n \n \n\nRelated Programs + Events URL:https://mmfa.org/event/exhibition-on-screen-artists-garden/ LOCATION:Capri Theatre\, 1045 East Fairview Avenue\, Montgomery\, AL\, 36106\, United States CATEGORIES:Adults,Film,Paid ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mmfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/artgard1-e1728487691719.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts":MAILTO:info@mmfa.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
