In 2024, the 150th anniversary of the first Impressionist exhibition, an exhibition will be held that traces the impact and influence that Impressionism brought to Europe and America. In the late 19th century, many painters from abroad gathered in the great city of Paris. Painters who came into contact with and learned about Impressionism in Paris brought new painting techniques back to their home countries. This exhibition focuses on the innovativeness and spread of Impressionism, which overturned the traditions of Western art, and in particular the various aspects of Impressionism that spread throughout the United States. The Worcester Art Museum, located near Boston in the United States, has been actively collecting Impressionist works since its opening in 1898. This time, the exhibition will focus on the Impressionist collection of the museum, most of which will be visiting Japan for the first time, and will bring together works by French Impressionists such as Monet and Renoir, who are well known in Japan, as well as German and Scandinavian artists, Sargent, who was active internationally, and Hassam, a representative American Impressionist. This will be a valuable opportunity to experience the charm of the unknown American Impressionist movement, which has not been introduced in Japan until now.
