Description
Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Cassatt are household names today. But have you heard of Paul Durand-Ruel, who discovered them? This program will focus on the art dealer and his vital role in promoting the then unknown Impressionists. Among the works to be highlighted will be some of the most famous Impressionist works in the world, several of which Durand-Ruel once owned, including Renoir’s “Dance in the Country,” “Dance in the City,” plus “The Luncheon of the Boating Party,” Monet’s Poplar series, Cassatt’s “Child Taking a Bath” (considered her most admired work of this genre), as well as a selection of Degas’ depictions of the ballet.
