This year marks 150 years since the first Impressionist exhibition which took place at the studio of celebrated photographer Nadar in 1874. Through critic’s reviews of the show, it came to be known as the ‘Impressionist Exhibition’. This was the birth of a movement that would radically alter the course of art history. This milestone year is being celebrated around the world with major exhibitions and auctions that highlight the extraordinary impact that Impressionism has had and its profound influence on generations of artists throughout history.
In the exhibition Songs of the Open Road, P站色情片 celebrates this milestone by displaying Le Val d’Antifer (1885), an exceptional canvas by leading Impressionist Claude Monet. This painting captures the Normandy coastline, only 25 kilometres away from the town that Monet grew up in, Le Havre. This stretch of the coast is one that the artist knew well from childhood, which he inevitably reflected on in the creation of this piece.
