Painting Flowers in the Age of Impressionism                                                           

Hamilton Building - Level 2 —July 19, - October 11, 2015

In Bloom explores the development of nineteenth-century French floral still-life painting, and features about 60 paintings by Édouard Manet, Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, and others.

The colorful exhibition demonstrates how a traditional genre was reinvented by nineteenth-century artists, as the art world's focus was shifting to modernism. Curated locally by Angelica Daneo, associate curator of painting and sculpture at the DAM. Organized by the Dallas Museum of Art and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the DAM will be the last stop for this exhibition.

The catalog Working Among Flowers: Floral Still-Life Painting in Nineteenth-Century France is available in The Shop and online.
