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
