NEO-IMPRESSIONISM AND
THE DREAM OF REALITIES
TOUR A GALLERY…
When: Now through January 11th
Where: The Phillips Collection
Neo-Impressionism and the Dream of Realities presents more than
70 works that reflect the Neo-Impressionist’s preoccupation with
the idea, emotion, or the synergy of senses, particularly from 1888
to 1895, when adherence to the group was at its height and
relations with Symbolist writers were especially fruitful. Featuring
15 artists—including renowned artists such as Georges Seurat,
Paul Signac, and Camille Pissarro alongside their lesser known
contemporaries—the exhibition welcomes to the Phillips works that
have rarely or never before been exhibited in the United States.
From idealized landscapes to expressive portraits and figural
compositions that highlight their interest in literature and music, the
artists created evocative images that went beyond observed reality.
