DAWN OF IMPRESSIONISM: PARIS 1874
Saturday, June 7 @ 2 - 5 PM
With discussion led by Christi Moraga, docent after viewing.
This film is cosponsored by the Alliance Française de Hartford and the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art.
The Impressionists are celebrated today as the most beloved group in art history, yet their journey began as a bold rebellion against convention. In 1874, a group of scorned, penniless outsiders broke away from official channels to host their exhibition, giving birth to Impressionism and reshaping the art world forever. This film delves into these maverick artists’ radical spirit and provocative creativity, revealing the story through the words of the artists, press, and people of
Paris. Featuring insights from the spectacular Musée d’Orsay exhibition, it is a vivid celebration of passion, independence, and the birth of a movement that changed everything.
