FILM SCREENING
Dawn of Impressionism: Paris 1874
2025, dir. Ali Ray, 90 min.
What led to that first groundbreaking show 150 years ago? Who were the maverick personalities that wielded their brushes in such a radical and provocative way? The spectacular Musée d’Orsay exhibition featured in this film brings fresh eyes to an extraordinary tale of passion and rebellion. The story is told not only by historians and curators but also by those who witnessed the dawn of Impressionism: the artists, press, and people of Paris in 1874. Made in close collaboration with the Musee d’Orsay and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
