KEY Oklahoma City

John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt and James McNeill Whistler, American artists in the forefront of the most important artistic new developments that took place in France in the second half of the 19th century, are represented in Americans In Paris: 1850-1910, at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. The exhibition includes more than 140 paintings and graphic works from nearly 45 lenders from throughout the United States.

Americans in Paris: 1850-1910 examines not only the work of American artists who went to study, work and exhibit in Paris, but also some outstanding paintings by fourteen French artists including Jean-Léon Gérôme, Camille Corot and Jean-François Millet who were among their teachers and principal sources of inspiration. The exhibition explores French influences and lineages that played important roles in the evolution of American painting.

Organized in three parts, the exhibition groups artists who studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts including Daniel Ridgway Knight, Kenyon Cox and Frederick Arthur Bridgman; French and American artists associated with the Barbizon School including William Morris Hunt, Jean- François Millet and Winslow Homer, and artists associated with Impressionism and Post Impressionism including Frank Boggs, Frederick Childe Hassam, Mary Cassatt and John Singer Sargent.

Americans In Paris: 1850-1910 is a testimony of America's artists to perfect their skills and to achieve international recognition. In addition to a comprehensive survey of important etchings and lithographs carried out in Paris by Whistler, loaned by the Library of Congress and the University of Michigan Museum of Art, loans from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Art Institute of Chicago, The Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C. and several important anonymous lenders are included in the exhibition.

The exhibit continues through November 30 in the Donald W. Reynolds Visual Arts Center. The museum is open Tuesday thru Saturday, 10-5, Thursday 10-9, and Sunday 1-5. Closed Monday. For more information call 236-3100, or visit www.okcmoa.com.
