Read the Press Release
One Each features paintings by five young French artists who, in the 1860s, used the still life genre to experiment with new techniques and pictorial aims in painting. In these years, Paul Cézanne, Camille Pissarro, Édouard Manet, Frédéric Bazille, and Claude Monet were modernizing painting, creating a style—Impressionism—that would polarize the art world and have a profound impact on art to come. These five paintings combine familiar subjects from the kitchen counter and dinner table—a glass of wine, freshly-caught fish, a loaf of bread, lemons—with revolutionary artistic intent. The artists’ methods of making are put boldly on view—broad and emphatic brushwork, paint sculpted on the canvas. The Impressionists termed this audacious rebalancing of priorities and values in an artwork “sincerity.”
Organized by the Cincinnati Art Museum and the Toledo Museum of Art.

A Visual Feast: French Still Life Painting on the Eve of Impressionism
Featuring Lynne Ambrosini, Deputy Director/Chief Curator Emerita, Taft Museum of Art

What do a jar of peaches, a black clock, an eel, and a vase of white roses have in common? All figured in still lifes created by the young Impressionists and their peers, who were forging new, radically simplified painting styles in the 1860s. Consume the visual feasts arranged by Paul Cézanne, Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Auguste Renoir, and others while exploring this richly sensual vein of subject matter.
