THE ARTIST’S GARDEN: AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISM presented at the Cinema Art Theater

January 29th, 2019 - 6:00 pm

The Rehoboth Beach Film Society is pleased to bring back for the third year the Journeys in Art History (EXHIBITION ON SCREEN) film series. The series will begin in January with an encore of a well-liked film from last year and continues with three brand new films each month through April. The focus of the series is to introduce the works of history’s greatest painters and to provide opportunities to view blockbuster art exhibitions from galleries worldwide.

Back by popular demand! The first presentation in the series is the bucolic Exhibition on Screen film THE ARTIST’S GARDEN: AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISM. It will be screened on Tuesday, January 29 at 6:00 pm.

Taking its lead from French artists like Renoir and Monet, the American Impressionist movement followed its own path which over a forty-year period reveals as much about America as a nation as it does about its art as a creative power-house. It’s a story closely tied to a love of gardens and a desire to preserve nature in a rapidly urbanizing nation. Travelling to studios, gardens and iconic locations throughout the United States, United Kingdom and France, this mesmerizing film is a feast for the eyes.

THE ARTIST’S GARDEN AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISM features the sell-out exhibition “The Artist’s Garden: American Impressionism and the Garden Movement, 1887–1920” that began at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and ended at the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme, Connecticut. [2017, UK, 87 minutes, Not Rated].
