Dobrzynski, Wall Street Journal, exhibition review\n\nIn the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, American artists flocked to France in search of instruction, critical acclaim, and patronage. Some, including James McNeill Whistler, John Singer Sargent, and Mary Cassatt, became highly regarded in the French press, advancing their careers on both sides of the Atlantic. Others, notably William Merritt Chase, John Twachtman, Childe Hassam, and Thomas Wilmer Dewing—part of the association known as The Ten—found success working in the style of the French Impressionists, while Henry Ossawa Tanner, Cecilia Beaux, and Elizabeth Jane Gardner focused on genre and history subjects.\n\nThis richly illustrated volume offers a sophisticated examination of cultural and aesthetic exchange as it highlights many figures, including artists of color and women, who were left out of previous histories. Celebrated scholars from both American and French institutions detail the complex history and diverse styles of these expatriate artists—styles ranging from conservative academic modes to Tonalism—and provide original perspectives on this fertile period of creativity, expanding our understanding of what constitutes American art.\n\nPublished in association with the Denver Art Museum\n\nExhibition Schedule:\nDenver Art Museum\n(November 14, 2021–March 13, 2022)\n\nVirginia Museum of Fine Arts\n(April 16–July 31, 2022)\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0300254458\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.0300254458.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Standring, Timothy J|Griffin, Randall C.|Brugerolles, Emmanuelle|Colman, Benjamin W.|Singletary, Suzanne|Rawles, Susan J.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: A well-loved companion.
