Celebrate the opening of Blanche Hoschedé-Monet in the Light!
Immerse yourself in the enchantment of La Belle Époque (The Beautiful Era). Roam through the echoing atrium, witness world-class musical performances, enjoy hors d’oeuvres with local ingredients, and lose yourself in the carefully crafted world of Blanche Hoschedé-Monet in the Light.
Fancy dress is encouraged but never required.
Recognized for her sophisticated approach to color, composition, and technique, Blanche Hoschedé-Monet (1865–1947) was part of a successful network of artists in Giverny, Rouen, and Paris during the first half of the twentieth century, although she is most often recognized for her relation to Claude Monet, her stepfather and one of France’s most famous painters. With Monet as her mentor, she developed a distinct style that favored carefully framed points of view and landscapes painted en plein air. As the first monographic exhibition of her work in the United States, Blanche Hoschedé-Monet in the Light brings together over forty paintings which attest to Hoschedé-Monet’s unique vision and ambitions as an artist in her own right.
This exhibition is supported by: the Jane Fortune Fund for the Advancement of Women Artists; Rick and Alice Johnson; Gary J and Kathy Z Anderson; Nancy L. McMillan; Paula W. Sunderman, PhD; and members of the Henry R. Hope Society.
