Making an Impression
Prints by Manet, Pissarro and their Contemporaries
10 October – 17 December 2022
Kirkby Gallery proudly presents the work of internationally recognised artists including Mary Cassatt, Paul Cézanne, Edouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro, Lucien Pissarro and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
The Impressionists are best known for their colourful paintings of modern life and the landscape but many also used print as a medium. By utilising a wide variety of print techniques, they blurred the boundaries between prints and drawings.
This exhibition, kindly on loan from the Ashmolean Museum of Art & Archaeology collection contains over 30 etchings, lithographs, aquatints and dry points grouped into three sections: Modern Life, Portraits, and Landscapes & Labour.
Visitors can research the featured artists in our Reading Room, with a wealth of resources and comfy seating.
Please note, bags must be placed in our storage receptacles on entering the Gallery; they will be returned at the end of your visit.
Exhibition organised by the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford.
