Masterpieces That Still Wow Us After 150 Years: A Look Back at Timeless Artworks
This year marks the 150th anniversary of Impressionism, with museums around the world showcasing exhibitions to celebrate the movement’s beginning. The term “Impressionist” was first used as an insult by French critic Louis Leroy, but artists like Monet, Degas, Renoir, and Pissarro embraced it as a badge of honor. Exhibitions like “Frontiers of Impressionism” in Tokyo and “The Impressionist Revolution” in Dallas will kick off the anniversary festivities. Additionally, focused shows like “Monet and London” in the Courtauld Gallery and “Mary Cassatt at Work” in Philadelphia will explore different aspects of Impressionism. The highlight of the year will be “Paris 1874: Inventing Impressionism” at the Musée d’Orsay, showcasing around 130 works that revolutionized the art world. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the lasting impact of the Impressionist movement.
