The exhibition delves into Impressionism’s journey from 1874 to the early 20th century, highlighting the movement’s rebellious beginnings and its transformative impact on modern art, according to a Mutual Art article. They report. 

“The Impressionist Revolution from Monet to Matisse explores the fascinating story of Impressionism from its birth in 1874 to its legacy in the early 20th century. Told almost entirely through the DMA’s exceptional holdings, this exhibition reveals the rebellious origins of the independent artist collective known as the Impressionists and the revolutionary course they charted for modern art.”

The Dallas Museum of Art presents “The Impressionist Revolution from Monet to Matisse,” showcasing around 90 artworks, emphasizing the museum’s collections, including pieces from notable donors, according to a Dallas Morning News article. In it they say, 

“The visions are reproduced on place mats, coffee mugs, women’s scarves, men’s ties and socks: urban haze, flowering gardens and placid country roads. So popular is artistic impressionism that exhibitions of Monet, Renoir, Degas and company are art museums’ equivalent of Nutcracker, A Christmas Carol and the Beethoven Ninth Symphony: what you program to get as many people as possible in the doors.

The Dallas Museum of Art is tapping into the enduring appeal with “The Impressionist Revolution from Monet to Matisse,” a show of some 90 paintings and pastels mostly from the museum’s own holdings. The Wendy and Emery Reves Collection is generously represented, as are gifts from the late Margaret McDermott. You won’t see classics featured in art history books, but offerings organized by Nicole Myers, the DMA’s chief curatorial and research officer, cover a considerable variety of painters and styles.”

The exhibition “The Impressionist Revolution from Monet to Matisse” runs until Nov. 3 at the Dallas Museum of Art, open Wednesday through Sunday. Admission is free for the museum but $20 for the special exhibition, with exceptions.
