SUMMARY:Art Film at The Kate: Dawn of Impressionism: Paris\, 1874 (Encore Presentation)
DESCRIPTION:Experience an encore screening of the sold-out hit Dawn of Impressionism: Paris\, 1874\, presented by The Kate and the Florence Griswold Museum on Saturday\, July 12\, 2025\, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. \nThis engaging film invites viewers to step back 150 years to the revolutionary first Impressionist exhibition that forever changed the art world. In 1874\, a group of visionary artists\, “hungry for independence\,” defied tradition and held their own exhibition outside official channels—giving birth to Impressionism as we know it. \nThrough the spectacular Musée d’Orsay exhibition\, audiences will discover what inspired these maverick painters to wield their brushes in radical new ways. Told through the words of the artists\, the press\, and the people of Paris at the time\, this film paints an intimate picture of the passion\, rebellion\, and creative freedom that sparked a global art movement. \nThe screening runs 90 minutes and will take place at the Florence Griswold Museum\, 96 Lyme Street\, Old Lyme\, Connecticut. For tickets and more details\, visit flogris.org or call (860) 434-5542.
