Transcending Vision: American Impressionism 1870-1940
Transcending Vision: American Impressionism 1870–1940 explores both the dissemination of Impressionism from its French roots into the American idiom and its reinterpretation of American landscape painting. The more than 120 important masterpieces in the exhibition, by a diverse group of more than 75 artists such as Childe Hassam, Arthur Wesley Dow, Robert Spencer and others, trace not only the development of Impressionism in the United States but also the development of a truly American style of painting. Members of the first generation of American painters to absorb the technique, brighter palette and subject matter of Impressionism from their French counterparts. These artists, considered rebellious in their time, painted atmospheric landscapes, park and beach scenes, urban views and charming interiors, with particular interest in optical effects, light and the different seasons.

"Color and Line" is an exhibit of Loretta Paraguassu's work that goes beyond the limits of her dramatic two-dimensional paintings. Her opening at the Timothy Michael Gallery, located at 39 Oak St. in Roswell, is Saturday, November 14, 6:30-9 p.m. and will also include a fashion show of her original designs created with artist Amandine Drouet.
"I love using intense color and combining it with the elegance of line," Paraguassu says. "It doesn't matter if I'm using watercolor or oils. I enjoy them both, but the last thing I want to do is create something that just lies on the paper or canvas and is totally boring. I'd rather it were challenging or intense. Pretty is just not enough.".

Transcending Vision: American Impressionism 1870-1940
Transcending Vision: American Impressionism 1870–1940 explores both the dissemination of Impressionism from its French roots into the American idiom and its reinterpretation of American landscape painting. The more than 120 important masterpieces in the exhibition, by a diverse group of more than 75 artists such as Childe Hassam, Arthur Wesley Dow, Robert Spencer and others, trace not only the development of Impressionism in the United States but also the development of a truly American style of painting. Members of the first generation of American painters to absorb the technique, brighter palette and subject matter of Impressionism from their French counterparts. These artists, considered rebellious in their time, painted atmospheric landscapes, park and beach scenes, urban views and charming interiors, with particular interest in optical effects, light and the different seasons.
