Across the Atlantic: American Impressionism through the French Lens
<p>This extraordinary exhibition, drawn entirely from the rich collection of the Reading Public Museum, explores the path to Impressionism through the nineteenth century and the complex relationship between French Impressionism of the 1870s and 1880s and the American interpretation of the style in the decades that followed. More than seventy-five paintings and works on paper help tell the story of the new style of painting which developed at the end of the nineteenth century—one that emphasized light and atmospheric conditions, rapid or loose brushstrokes, and a focus on brightly colored scenes from everyday life.</p><p><br></p><p>Some of the artists featured in the exhibition include Edgar Degas and Mary Cassatt, who exhibited in the official Impressionist exhibitions in Paris in the 1870s and 1880s. Among the earliest American artists to embrace the style were John Singer Sargent, William Merritt Chase, John Henry Twachtman, Childe Hassam, and Frank W. Benson. A host of American artists who embraced the style by the turn of the century including Robert Lewis Reid, William Paxton, Chauncey Ryder, and Guy Wiggins, are highlighted in the exhibition.</p> 2019-08-26 16:00:00 -0500

“French and American Impressionism,” by Kate Kunau, Associate Curator of Collections and Exhibitions
<p>The masters of French Impressionism are names that echo through the art history canon: Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and others. The movement that began so ignominiously with an art critic’s takedown of Monet’s painting Impression, Sunrise went on to become an international juggernaut whose images are known immediately by their distinctive brushwork and vivid colors. Impressionism soon attracted the attention of artists from beyond France’s borders, and perhaps no group was more attentive than American artists. William Merritt Chase, Mary Cassatt, John Singer Sargent and dozens of others drew inspiration from French painters’ style to capture the unique spirit of America. Join Associate Curator Kate Kunau for a deep dive into the similarities and differences between French and American Impressionism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. </p> 2019-12-30 14:00:00 -0600

<p>Brioche knitting is a family of knitting patterns involving tucked stitches. We will be making yarn overs that are knitted together with a slipped stitch from the previous row. Our cowl starts with this simple basic Brioche technique. We will add Brioche decreasing and increasing which creates interesting shapes and looks. Our brioche will also be more fun because it is in the round. This project is just right for confident beginners and intermediate knitters. Materials fee $5.</p><p>Registration is required prior to the class start date.

Across the Atlantic: American Impressionism through the French Lens
<p>This extraordinary exhibition, drawn entirely from the rich collection of the Reading Public Museum, explores the path to Impressionism through the nineteenth century and the complex relationship between French Impressionism of the 1870s and 1880s and the American interpretation of the style in the decades that followed. More than seventy-five paintings and works on paper help tell the story of the new style of painting which developed at the end of the nineteenth century—one that emphasized light and atmospheric conditions, rapid or loose brushstrokes, and a focus on brightly colored scenes from everyday life.</p><p><br></p><p>Some of the artists featured in the exhibition include Edgar Degas and Mary Cassatt, who exhibited in the official Impressionist exhibitions in Paris in the 1870s and 1880s. Among the earliest American artists to embrace the style were John Singer Sargent, William Merritt Chase, John Henry Twachtman, Childe Hassam, and Frank W. Benson. A host of American artists who embraced the style by the turn of the century including Robert Lewis Reid, William Paxton, Chauncey Ryder, and Guy Wiggins, are highlighted in the exhibition.</p> 2020-02-20 20:00:00 -0600
