The Frist Art Museum presents The Impressionist Revolution: Monet to Matisse from the Dallas Museum of Art, an exhibition that tells the enthralling story of Impressionism from its origins in 1874 to its legacy in the early 20th century through paintings and sculptures by Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Piet Mondrian, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro, Vincent van Gogh, and many others. Organized by the Dallas Museum of Art, the exhibition will be on view in the Frist’s Upper-Level Galleries from February 26 through May 31, 2026.
Through nearly 50 paintings and sculptures, The Impressionist Revolution reveals the rebellious origins of the independent artist collective known as the Impressionists and the revolutionary course they charted for modern art. Breaking with tradition in both how and what they painted, the Impressionists redefined what constituted cutting-edge contemporary art. The unique innovations of its core members, including Gustave Caillebotte, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Alfred Sisley, set the foundation for generations of avant-garde artists that followed, from Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh to Piet Mondrian and Henri Matisse.
