Back to Exhibitions Blue Grass, Green Skies: American Impressionism and Realism from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art an exhibition from LACMA September 27 - January 4, 2026 • Past South Gallery It must not be assumed that American Impressionism and French Impressionism are identical. The American painter accepted the spirit, not the letter of the new doctrine. —Christian Brinton, 1916 In 1874, a group of avant-garde French artists, including Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, organized the first exhibition of the “Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors, Printmakers, etc.” in Paris. Although working independently, rather than as a unified movement or school, they came to be known as the Impressionists—a term first used to disparage their works as unfinished “impressions.” Defined by their loose brushwork, vibrant color palettes, and attention to capturing the ephemeral effects of light and atmosphere, these artists rejected established academic traditions and developed innovative approaches to depicting modern life. Impressionism’s influence was felt globally, but perhaps nowhere as profoundly or as long lasting as in the United States. American artists working abroad had opportunities to see and study Impressionist works, but it was not until 1886—when the movement had lost some of its radical edge—that the first large-scale exhibition of French Impressionism was held in the United States. The New York Tribune reported that although Impressionist pictures were often criticized for their “blue grass, violently green skies, and water with the coloring of a rainbow,” Americans would nevertheless benefit from studying the “vitality and beauty” in these works. Over the next three decades, artists working across the United States adapted Impressionist aesthetics to depict modern American life. While their works embody the optimism and nationalism that then defined American culture, by the turn of the twentieth century, rapid urbanization and industrialization had transformed the nation, giving rise to new artistic tendencies. A group of younger artists, often described as Realists, rejected Impressionism’s colorful palette, instead portraying the grittier side of urban life. However, like their Impressionist contemporaries, they continued to paint the American scene, focusing on life in the city, the country, and the home. Drawn from the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the works in this exhibition highlight the evolution of Impressionism’s blue grass and green skies into a distinctly American art. All works are in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Back to Exhibitions Daisy Patton Flowers, Fruits, and Birds September 26, 2026 - April 25, 2027 • Upcoming Exhibition Daisy Patton: Flowers, Fruits, and Birds explores the intersection of personal memory and intergenerational histories. Drawing from found photographs, archival imagery, and decorative traditions, Patton transforms portraits through vibrant floral interventions and embellishment, reintroducing women from the past as figures suspended between eras. The exhibition title references a passage from The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir, in which women are metaphorically associated with flowers, fruits, and birds. Patton reclaims these symbols, revealing them not only as markers of beauty and fragility, but also as emblems of growth, resilience, and creation.
