impressionism

and post-impressionism

The Met's outstanding Impressionist paintings tell a fascinating history of artistic innovation via scenes of bustling urban life and dazzling sun-lit gardens. See Degas' ballerinas, Renoir's wealthy patrons' homes and Monet's idyllic outdoor scenes, then take in Van Gogh's views of the south of France and Gauguin's travels to the South Pacific.

twentieth century

to contemporary

Favoring intense color and abstracted scenes, the Fauvres (aka 'wild beasts') transformed early 20th century art in France, starting conversations that eventually led to Jackson Pollock's dripped paintings and Mark Rothko's floating fields of color. We'll track these developments up to recent paintings by some of contemporary art's most talked about artists.
