The Artist’s Garden: American Impressionism

The Artist’s Garden: American Impressionism delves into the unique path of American impressionism, influenced by French artists such as Renoir and Monet. Over forty years, this movement reflects not only artistic evolution but also the broader narrative of America as a nation.

The documentary takes viewers on a visual journey through studios, gardens, and iconic locations across the United States, the UK, and France. It provides insights into the lives of artists and their deep connection to nature amidst a changing urban landscape.

This film is part of the Exhibition on Screen Collection and features the sold-out exhibition that toured from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts to the Florence Griswold Museum in Connecticut. At 87 minutes long, it serves as both a tribute to the artists and a celebration of the garden movement from 1887 to 1920.
