"Dixon Gallery and Gardens: Paintings, Sculptures, Works on Paper" presents a close examination of the works that comprise the Dixon's vibrant brilliant landscapes, portraits, still lifes, and genre subjects by some of the most important artists of movements ranging from French Impressionism to American Scene painting. Works by French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists form the core of the Dixon's fine art collection. One of the great revolutions in the history of art, Impressionism was focused on achieving truth in art by capturing the natural effects of light and the realities of modern life. Plein-air landscapes, contemplative still-life paintings, and dazzling scenes of dancers and fashionable men and women by some of the greatest artists of the period--including Gustave Courbet, Edgar Degas, Jean-Louis Forain, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Georges Seurat, and others--reveal how artists challenged traditional notions on art through paintings, sculptures, and works on paper that continue to inspire creativity today. At the same time, American artists, many of whom had traveled to France, began to embrace more contemporary subjects. Expatriate painters like Mary Cassatt, Elizabeth Nourse, Jane Peterson, John Singer Sargent, and Henry Ossawa Tanner were some of the first Americans to adopt the "new painting" of the French Impressionists, but the preference for sunlit landscapes and modern urban subjects soon spread to and across the United States, leading to diverse approaches to painting in the country's various geographic regions. Decades after the Impressionists first challenged the notion of what painting should be, artists including Paul Cézanne, Fernand Léger, and Henri Matisse worked to increasingly deconstruct the fundamentals of painting in the twentieth century. In doing so, they indelibly changed the course of modern art. Fine but for small (size of a US quarter-dollar coin) scar from sticker removal to front pastedown, in fine dust jacket.
