Over the past 125 years, the Worcester Art Museum has assembled a stunning collection of American and European paintings that tell the story of Impressionism’s roots and emergence in France and its subsequent expansion to the United States, Germany, Scandinavia, and beyond. Frontiers of Impressionism: Paintings from the Worcester Art Museumincludes53 works by over 30 artists—including Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Mary Cassatt, Childe Hassam, and Max Slevogt. Together, they demonstrate Impressionism’s international allure and its national adaptations captured in subjects from Monet’s famed Giverny lily pond to the natural wonders of the Grand Canyon.

Frontiers of Impressionism: Paintings from the Worcester Art Museum is organized by the Worcester Art Museum.
