The Impressionist Revolution: Monet to Matisse from the Dallas Museum of Art

The Impressionist Revolution: Monet to Matisse from the Dallas Museum of Art is told entirely through the Dallas Museum of Art's exceptional holdings. The Impressionists broke with tradition in both how and what they painted, redefining what then constituted cutting-edge contemporary art. The unique innovations of its core members, such as Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Berthe Morisot, set the foundation against which following generations of avant-garde artists reacted, from Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh to Piet Mondrian and Henri Matisse. Celebrating the 150th anniversary of the first Impressionist exhibition, The Impressionist Revolution invites visitors to reconsider these now beloved artists as the scandalous renegades they at one time were, as well as the considerable impact they had on 20th-century art.

On view in conjunction with Encore: 19th-Century French Art from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art.

This major exhibition is organized by the Dallas Museum of Art and has been curated by Nicole R. Myers, Ph.D., Chief Curator and Research Officer, The Barbara Thomas Lemmon Senior Curator of European Art, Dallas Museum of Art.

The presentation in Santa Barbara is coordinated by James Glisson, Chief Curator, SBMA; Andrew Witte, Curatorial Assistant for Photography and New Media, SBMA; and Charles Wylie, Former Curator of Photography and New Media, SBMA
