Back to Exhibitions Blue Grass, Green Skies: American Impressionism and Realism from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art an exhibition from LACMA 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 Elevations and Extensions Luciana Abait Elevations and Extensions explores the impact of climate change, especially as it pertains to marginalized communities and patterns of global immigration. Luciana Abait’s large-scale photo collages capture vulnerable natural phenomena, preserving their fleeting beauty. Abait employs the use of vibrant, unnatural color pallets, alluding to the toxicity and pollution impacting our planet. Abait’s Road Trip Series consist of digitally altered photographs that she captured while driving through the American West. By showcasing the landscape’s vivid beauty, she aims to inspire hope and care when it comes to protecting and preserving the environment. Luciana’s Iceberg Series was inspired by her own feelings of instability. Collaged from found images of icebergs and Luciana’s photography, she creates imaginary landscapes that blend personal experiences with collective geographic history. Unlike Abait’s other photographic works, the images in the On the Verge series have not been edited or manipulated by the artist. On the Verge includes photographs taken at locations around the border of Arizona and Utah, including Lake Powell, a rapidly shrinking reservoir, and Glen Canyon Dam, a key site in the distribution of Colorado River water to millions of people across the West. Abait’s large-scale installations invite viewers to reflect on their place in the environment as well as their role in its transformation. Maps That Failed Us, an installation comprised of world maps constructed to resemble a towering mountainside, interrogates the arbitrary state of human imposed borders. The installation gestures towards the vastness and interconnectedness of the world we inhabit. Agua was created as a meditative space where viewers can reflect on the importance of water, one of our most precious natural resources. Abait is invested in water as a reoccurring symbol of rebirth across multiple cultures and religions. Through her immersive installations, Abait fosters moments of contemplation and connection, urging viewers to consider their relationship to nature and each other.
