EXHIBITION ON SCREEN: THE ARTIST'S GARDEN: AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISM
EXHIBITION ON SCREEN The Artist’s Garden: American Impressionism - October 9 2024 @ 7pm
Presented by Harrogate Film Society in partnership with the Friends of the Mercer Gallery.
From EXHIBITION ON SCREEN, the creators of Painting the Modern Garden: Monet to Matisse, comes a film exploring how the relationship between art and gardening blossomed across the pond.
The Artist’s Garden tells the intertwining stories of American Impressionism and The Garden Movement which flourished between 1887–1920. Both movements responded to rapid social change brought about by America’s industrialisation. With increasing urbanisation prompting the emerging middle-class to seek refuge in the suburbs, they began to spend their free time and wealth cultivating impressive private gardens.
When French art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel brought a selection of impressionist paintings to New York in 1886, he changed the course of art in America entirely. Many American artists, inspired by what they saw, made the pilgrimage to study in Monet’s Giverny, and were keen to employ their experience to capture America’s own unique landscapes. In doing so, they captured a unique moment in America’s history - a snapshot of a nation transitioning from a land of agriculture to a land of industry.
