Because true art lovers can never get enough Impressionism! An exhibition with pieces by great impressionist artists will soon open its doors in the CDMX. We tell you all about The Impressionist Revolution atMuseo del Palacio de Bellas Artes.
The first thing you should know is that the full name of the exhibition is The Impressionist Revolution: From Monet to Matisse at the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA), and it will make you explore the fascinating history of Impressionism, all told through the DMA’s exceptional collection!
Through original, must-see pieces , you’ll learn more about the origins of this collective of independent artists who were considered rebels at the time and the revolution they created in modern art.
You will understand how they redefined what was considered avant-garde contemporary art and how Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and Berthe Morisot laid the foundations to which later generations of avant-garde artists responded, from Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh to Piet Mondrian and Henri Matisse.
When is The Impressionist Revolution coming to the Palace of Fine Arts Museum?
The exhibition will arrive at the Sala Nacional and Sala Diego Rivera of the Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes on
March 25 and will remain there until July 27, 2025.
The reason? It will all be in the framework of the 150th anniversary of the first impressionist exhibition in history, celebrated in 2024. This exhibition will invite you to reflect on these artists, recognized today as the scandalous renegades they were, and to rethink the undeniable impact they had on 20th century art.
