Exhibition on Screen: The Artist’s Garden - American Impressionism
Taking its cues from French artists such as Renoir and Monet, the American impressionist movement took its own route that, over the course of forty years, tells as much about America as a nation as it does about its art as a creative powerhouse. It is a tale entwined with a love of gardens and a desire to conserve environment in an increasingly urbanized nation. This visually stunning film travels to studios, gardens, and iconic landmarks in the United States, the United Kingdom, and France. The Artist's Garden: American Impressionism highlights the sold-out show The Artist's Garden: American Impressionism and the Garden Movement,1887–1920, which originated at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and concluded at the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme, Connecticut.
