Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco Presentation

The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco are pleased to present Intimate

Impressionism from the National Gallery of Art
, featuring the
work of 19th century avant-garde painters such as Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Vincent van Gogh. The exhibition includes nearly 70 paintings, and
features a selection of intimately scaled impressionist and post-impressionist
still lifes, portraits and landscapes, whose charm and fluency invite close
scrutiny. 


The significance of this exhibition is grounded in the high quality of each example and in the works’ variety of subject matter. The paintings’ dimensions reflect their intended function: display in domestic interiors. Their intimate effect also extends to the paintings’ themes—many are studies of the artists’ favorite places and depictions of people familiar to them, and the works often became gifts shared among friends.
