The Fine Art Center's stunning new show, Impressionist and Modern Masters from the New Orleans Museum of Art, tells the complete story of Impressionism and Modernism with its roots in portraits from the 17th and 18th centuries, including The Baptism of Christ by Luca Giordano from 1684, Marie Antoinette, Queen of France by Elisabeth Louise Vigee Le Brun from 1788, and continues with masterworks by Monet and Paul Gauguin in the late 19th century with the mid-20th century represented by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Jackson Pollock and Joan Mira. Claude Monet and his contemporaries were called the Impressionists and they were a tight-knit group who socialized together, ate together and created art together. Their collective goal was simple yet powerful: to remake the world of art through color, context and light. They wanted to forge a new way that reflected their age, using dynamic techniques and perspectives to capture the immediacy of the fast-changing times. But to learn their story completely, you need to see what came before the Impressionists as well as what came after them.
