This idea of home could center on a family dwelling, geographic location, or culture and the complicated sense of origin and belonging our modern world has created.

Abstract:
A preview for the Landscapes from the Age of Impressionism exhibit details why landscapes were so popular with impressionist painters during the 19th and 20th centuries. As people began to move to major cities with industrialization, people often found themselves cut off from nature and traditional ways of life. As a result, these paintings provided a comfort, some solace, and a moment’s fantasy for viewers where they could imagine such beautiful, peaceful places. Several paintings are pictured as examples and the scope of the exhibition is previewed.
