The exhibition, entitled “Freezing the Moment: 150 Years of Impressionism,” at the Tel Aviv Museum includes some 80 works: paintings, sculptures, and graphic sheets created from the 1860s to the early 1930s. They demonstrate the boldness and originality that made Impressionism a revolutionary phenomenon in French art, represented by works by such famous masters as Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Berthe Morisot, and others.
This was reported on the museum’s website.
The exhibition also features works by Neo-Impressionists including Paul Signac and Georges Serra, and explores the spread of the style outside France through the work of the Belgian artist James Ensor and the German-Jewish artist Uri Lesser.
Following the tragic events of October 7, most of the Tel Aviv Museum’s contemporary art collection was moved to secure storage in the museum’s basement. For this exhibition, many of the works were brought out of storage again for the first time since the beginning of the conflict, and are displayed alongside Impressionist works from other public and private collections.
Artists featured in the exhibition include Uri Lesser, James Ensor, Eugène-Louis Boudin, Paul Gauguin, Armand Guillaumin, Edgar Degas, Charles-François Daubigny, Childe Frederick Hassam, Johann Barthold Jungkind, Itzhak Levitan, Max Liebermann, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Jean Metzinger, Henri Martin, Jacob Nussbaum, Paul Cézanne, Alexey Stepanov, Paul Signac, Alfred Sisley, John Singer Sargent, Georges-Pierre Seurat, Valentin Serov, Lucien Pissarro, Camille Pissarro, Mary Cassatt, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Gustave Caillebotte, Henri-Edmond Cross and Pierre Auguste Renoir.
