The traditional art establishment had shut out the Impressionists from exhibiting at the most famous art exhibition in Europe for years, the Salon in Paris.So, beginning in 1874, 30 Impressionist artists staged their own exhibit to acquaint the public and art collectors with their work.The first exhibit was a financial failure and critics panned the paintings of Cézanne, Degas, Monet, and Renoir, to name a few.But as they held six other exhibitions from 1874 to 1886, the new form of art began to gain acceptance by both art critics and collectors.Artist Julia Fister will trace how these ground-breaking shows shaped the trajectory of art history.May 13 (Tue) 10 a.m.
