A novel look at the relationship between Impressionist painting and
photography and the forging of a national identity in France
between 1850 and 1880 Between 1850 and 1880, Impressionist
landscape painting and early forms of photography flourished within
the arts in France. In the context of massive social and political
change that also marked this era, painters and photographers
composed competing visions of France as modern and industrialized
or as rural and anti-modern. Impressionist France explores the
resonances between landscape art and national identity as reflected
in the paintings and photographs made during this period, examining
and illustrating in particular the works of key artists such as
Edouard Baldus, Gustave Le Gray, the Bisson Freres, Edouard Manet,
Jean-Francois Millet, Claude Monet, Charles Negre, and Camille
Pissarro. This ambitious premise focuses on the whole of France,
exploring the relationship between landscape art and the notion of
French nationhood across the country's varied and spectacular
landscapes in seven geographical sections and four scholarly
essays, which provide new information regarding the production and
impact of French Impressionism. Distributed for the Nelson-Atkins
Museum of Art and the Saint Louis Museum of Art Exhibition
