"Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art




The Metropolitan Museum of Art
   New York City

 Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity


February 26--May 27., 2013


Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity presents the role of fashion in the works of Impressionists.  About eighty major figure paintings, in addition to period costumes, accessories, fashion plates, photographs and  prints, highlight the relationship between fashion and art from the mid-1860's to the mid-1880's, when Paris emerged as the style capital of the world.

The exhibition, L'Impressionnisme et la Mode, comes to New York from the Musée d'Orsay, Paris, where it attracted daily crowds from September 25 through January 20, 2013.

These are just a few of the paintings in the exhibition:



Claude Monet--Women in the Garden







Gustave Caillebotte--Paris Street, Rainy Day 






Auguste Renoir--Lise (Woman with Umbrella)







 Edgar Degas--The Millinery Shop







 Mary Cassatt--In the Loge 







Edouard Manet--La Parisienne 





  
Claude Monet--Luncheon on the Grass

 





 Berthe Morisot--The Sisters








Edouard Manet--Repose 






  
Auguste Renoir--The Loge







Jean-Frédéric Bazille--Family Reunion 






 

Gustave Courbet-- Young Ladies on the Banks of the Seine




 My favorite Renoir paintings:

Dance at Bougival              Dance in the Country        Dance in the City
