Exhibition Details
Title: Paris 1874. Inventer l'impressionnisme (Paris 1874. Inventing Impressionism)
Location: Musée d'Orsay, Paris
Dates: March 26 to July 14, 2024
Sponsors: Major sponsors listed on the poster include Morgan Stanley and various media partners like Le Parisien, Le Point, and arte.
Significance: The exhibition commemorated the 150th anniversary of the first independent Impressionist exhibition, which opened in Paris on April 15, 1874, where Monet and other artists like Renoir, Degas, and Pissarro broke free from the official art scene (the Salon).
Featured Artwork: The painting Impression, Sunrise (French: Impression, soleil levant) by Claude Monet is credited with inspiring the name of the Impressionist movement itself after a critic's satirical article in 1874. The actual painting is typically housed at the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris but was on loan to the Musée d'Orsay for this specific exhibition. |
