4.9/5 (29686 ratings)

Description:Catalog of the first comprehensive exhibition investigating the impact of French Impressionism on the direction of art of the American Southwest. Featuring over 100 works, the exhibition juxtaposes French Impressionist, pre-Impressionist, and related works on loan from the Tacoma Art Museum in Washington with Western American examples from the El Paso Museum of Art and five El Paso private and corporate collections. Renoir to Remington: Impressionism to the American West outlines the multiple forms and degrees of Impressionist influence on artists of the American Southwest as they sought and found the means to translate the effect and their impressions of the distinct atmosphere, light, and color of the Southwest’s unique landscape, life, and culture. Artists include the Impressionist masters Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, and Edgar Degas; pre-Impressionists such as Eugène Boudin and Camille Corot; and American Impressionists like John Singer Sargent and Maurice Prendergast. Southwest works include pictures by the early masters Frederic Remington, Julian Onderdonk, and Julian’s father Robert Jenkins Onderdonk, along with later practitioners such as Fremont Ellis and the celebrated “Texas bluebonnet painter” Porfirio Salinas. Two notable groups are members of the Taos Society of Artists founded in 1915, and early and later El Paso area artists including Elmer L. Boone and Tom Lea. As the works in the exhibition reveal, some Southwest painters embraced both the high-keyed palette and broad sketchy brushwork of classic Impressionism, while others combine a more finished, academic style with the brighter colors initiated by the Impressionists. Included are sculptural comparisons between the dancers of Degas and the cowboys and horses of sculptors like Harry Jackson. Ultimately, Renoir to Remington enriches the understanding of Southwestern art by situating it within a broader context, and brings new relief to the lasting appeal and influence of the revolutionary movement Impressionism.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
