Join us for a special lecture from Dr. Nicole R. Myers, the Chief Curatorial and Research Officer and The Barbara Thomas Lemmon Senior Curator of European Art at the Dallas Museum of Art. Myers was the curator of The Impressionist Revolution: Monet to Matisse from the Dallas Museum of Art, an internationally touring exhibition that invites visitors to reconsider these now beloved artists as the scandalous renegades they once were.

In addition to organizing The Impressionist Revolution, Myers has provided an essay, “That 1870s Show,” referencing the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874 for the exhibition’s elegantly illustrated catalogue. She traces the foundations of this rebellious moment in art history while also shedding light on the Dallas Museum of Art’s unique collecting history. In this opening day lecture, Myers will share more about the curatorial approach she brought to some of the most iconic names in painting: Monet, Matisse, and more.
