Reeve This exhibition is organized by the musée des impressionnismes Giverny and the Terra Foundation for American Art in collaboration with the National Galleries of Scotland and the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza. With the generous support of the Terra Foundation for American Art. American Impressionism: A New Vision With more than 70 paintings produced in Europe and the United States between 1880 and 1900, this exhibition highlights the unique vision of American impressionism. Expatriates like Cassatt, Sargent and Whistler played a role in the creation of the impressionist aesthetic and worked alongside French artists. Others, in the succeeding years, adapted the New Painting to their native land, offering a renewed presentation of the American landscape with bright, sun-filled canvases. Artists like Chase, Hassam and Tarbell appropriated the new French techniques to American sites and subjects, thus emphasizing a growing national identity. July 11 October 31, 2014 Emile Claus, The Raising of the Fishtraps, 1893 Musée d Ixelles, Brussels / Photo: Mixed Media This exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Musée d Ixelles, Brussels. Brussels, An Impressionist Capital A focal point for the European avant-garde movements, Brussels stood out for the dynamism of its cultural life around the turn of the twentieth century. It was one of the first cities to exhibit the masterpieces of the Impressionists and Neo-Impressionists at the Salons des XX and the Salon de la Libre Esthétique. From Ensor to Van Rysselberghe, the Belgian painters tended to describe reality and were sensitive to the language of color and light. They compelled recognition through their originality in the interpretation of the landscape, their description of modern life, and portraiture.
