American Impressionists
Between 1880-1890, thousands of American students went to Paris to study art. Attracted by a more liberal curriculum than what was available in the United States and aspiring to compete on an international scale. Many American artists won awards in the annual Parisian Salons. The longest lasting of the turn of the century art colonies was the one founded in Giverny. The origins of the Giverny colony date to 1887 when a small band of artists: Willard Metcalf, Louis Ritter, Theodore Wendel and John Leslie Breck discovered the village. Claude Monet had settled there in 1883. Monet was initially receptive of the arrival of the artists but soon tired of the invasion. Instructor: Mimi Gallo
