Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to experience
and collect some of the world's most magnificent art, and to meet Alexandre
Renoir, great-grandson of the legendary Pierre-Auguste Renoir. This
exceptional exhibition includes a broad survey of artworks and artists to
fully illuminate the principles of the Impressionist movement. A viable form
of visual expression for the past 150 years, Impressionism is one of the
most popular and beloved art forms.
The survey begins with the artists who pioneered Impressionism and changed the course of western art history, featuring original lithographs, etchings, and drypoints from some of the greatest Impressionists including Edouard Manet, Jean-Francois Raffaelli, and James Whistler.
One of the most well-known leaders in the development of the Impressionist style is Pierre-Auguste Renoir whose original etchings, lithographs, bronzes, and oils will be part of this extraordinary show. In addition, his great-grandson, Alexandre Renoir, will be on hand at the show with his own original oil paintings. Guest will have a rare opportunity to watch Alexandre as he paints amazing new oils during the exhibition.
The exhibition also features numerous pieces from the Pissarro family, who has a long history of producing famous Impressionist artists. The first family artist was Camille Pissarro, nicknamed "the father of impressionism" because his work directly led to the development of the movement. Besides being the figurative father of the movement, he was also the biological father of Paulemile and Manzana Pissarro, both of whom became prolific Impressionist artists in their own right, along with Paulemile's son, H. Claude Pissarro. There will also be original limited edition lithographs by the contemporary artist Lelia Pissarro, who is the great-granddaughter of Camille Pissarro.
