From Forbes to The New York Times, the rest of the country now sees what makes Columbus great. In just a couple of weeks, Columbus Museum of Art will add to the list with Beyond Impressionism, and Columbus was the only city in the States selected for this one-of-a-kind show.
The exhibition looks at a vital moment in art at the turn of the 19th Century in Paris. It was a difficult time. The city experienced political, economic, cultural and social uproar, and artwork mirrored this. By the late 1880s, a new generation of artists looked at familiar subjects with a new lens. Beyond Impressionism explores this historic time in art, and features more than 120 paintings, drawings, prints and works on paper. Beyond Impressionism also includes one of Claude Monet’s Water Lilies paintings. In addition, take a look at Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's Jane Avril. But don't stop there because there is much, much more.
