Impressionism and Beyond
Exposición 1 de febrero − 31 de julio 2022
St. Louis Art Museum hosts exhibition "Impressionism and Beyond.".
The exhibition traces the artists' complex and fruitful contacts with contemporary life, highlighting the diverse dialogues between tradition and innovation, representation and abstraction, the artist's studio and the art market.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, European life underwent dramatic social, political, and psychological changes, which in turn contributed to significant artistic development. Artists responded in different ways to this changing environment--visualizing modern life as it is, but also viewing the world through the lens of the imagination. This new attitude to artistic practice elevated painting, drawing, and printmaking to a more significant place among the avant-garde. In France, where progressive tendencies dominated much of the period, the Impressionists broke with traditional academic modes of representation through formal experimentation and innovative methods of printmaking and drawing. This experimental impulse provided a launching pad for future generations to further promote formal and technical innovation.
