DAYTON, OHIO (WDTN) - The Dayton Art Institute's special exhibition All Things Bright & Beautiful brings together 60 important California Impressionist paintings from the collections of the Irvine Museum.
It is the only museum in California dedicated to the preservation and display of California Impressionism, or Plein-Air painting, an art style that flourished from 1890 to 1930.
The California Impressionists painted a California that no longer exists. Indeed, it was already slipping away in their lifetimes. The beautiful paintings in this exhibition are principally landscapes that document the lush splendor of the Golden State before its huge population growth — immense poppy fields, uninterrupted forest, and vacant, sun-startled coastline.
WDTN is proud to be the media sponsor for the event. For more log on to, www.DaytonArtInstitute.org
