Impressionist Exhibits! Go! Go! Go!

The Impressionists are making quite an “impression” in the south this summer. Impressionism is easily one of the most recognized and loved of the modern art movements with well-known artists such as Monet, Degas, Renoir, and Cezanne decorating the white walls of museums. These artists captured the world with new waves of light, color, and paint application that changed the course of modern art to this day.

Until June 29 the Arkansas Art Center has a fantastic exhibit of Impressionist art titled “The Impressionists and their Influence.” Additionally Memphis’ Brooks Museum and Dixon Art Gallery are collaborating in their own Impressionist ventures to highlight a similar display of high quality pieces from the art movement.

If you’re in Arkansas or Tennessee, please try to support your local art galleries. These exhibits are high quality shows that rival big city museum displays, so take advantage of the close proximity and low cost of admission.
