The Age of Impressionism: Impressionist & Post-Impressionist works on paper from the FIA's Permanent Collection
Ford Graphics Gallery

Between 1874 and 1886, eight Impressionist exhibitions were held in Paris. The artists that participated in those exhibitions possessed the willingness to experiment and question traditional aesthetic standards and art world practices. Many were mentors, friends, competitors, and followers. Some were forerunners of the Impressionist movement, revealing how the movement emerged out of established trends in the mid-19th century. Others were from the generation that followed, who were inspired by the Impressionists and paved the way for the avant-garde art.

This exhibition includes works by Corot, Renoir, Degas, Cassatt, Hassam, Bonnard, Vuillard, Toulouse Lautrec and Signac.
