When it comes to Impressionism, it s the Monets and Renoirs who tend to get all the attention. But a decade after the Impressionists first appeared in a Paris exhibition in 1874, it took hold in the United States, creating a broad art movement that extended from coast to coast.
A new retrospective at the San Antonio Museum of Art explores how this French-born style influenced American artists with America’s Impressionism: Echoes of a Revolution. More than 70 works, a mix of both public and private collections, have been compiled as part of the new exhibition, which is on view at SAMA June 11–September 5.
