Friends Friday: Impressionism - A look back at 150 years

This event will be held in person in the Teaneck Council Chambers at 818 Teaneck Road (next to the Library.) No registration is required.

This year is the 150^th anniversary of the first "Impressionist Art Exhibition", held in Paris in 1874. Today, everyone loves the Impressionists, but many don’t know that they and their avant-garde works were initially reviled by the critics and rejected by the public. If you can’t get to Paris to see the Musée D’Orsay’s blockbuster exhibition Paris 1874: Inventing impressionism, come to our presentation! The Impressionists: Imagining the Modern tells the compelling story of how this beloved art movement was born and why it flourished. You will see some of your favorite paintings and some that will be new to you.
