Film: Dawn of Impressionism: Paris 1874, NR (2025)

Directed by Ali Ray

Revisit "Dawn of Impressionism: Paris 1874" at the Musée d’Orsay and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., in a filmed version of the spectacular exhibition. The year 1874 changed everything: the first Impressionists, hungry for independence, broke the mold by holding their own exhibition outside official channels. Impressionism was born and the art world changed forever. What led to that first groundbreaking show 150 years ago? The story is told not only by historians and curators but also in the words of those who witnessed the dawn of Impressionism: the artists, press and people of Paris, 1874.

DETAILS:
This program is free with admission. No reservations needed. Doors open 30 minutes prior to the screening.
