DESCRIPTION:Event Name: California Impressionism:  Paintings from the Irvin
 e Museum\nEvent Url: http://www.artscalendar.com/event/detail/441183431/Ca
 lifornia_Impressionism_Paintings_from_the_Irvine_Museum\nEvent Date Begin:
  2011-01-19\nEvent Date End: 2011-04-17\n\nStarting with the late 1880s an
 d continuing into the early part of the twentieth century\, California's m
 ajestic landscape was the inspiration for many American artists. They set 
 out to capture California's vivid colors and intense sunshine in a distinc
 tive style that has come to be called California Impressionism or Californ
 ia plein air painting after the French term for 'in the open air.' Venturi
 ng out into nature\, these artists often depicted California as a colorful
 \, sunlit garden of wildflowers or a tranquil retreat. As a regional varia
 nt of American Impressionism\, the California plein air style is a composi
 te of traditional American landscape painting and influences from French I
 mpressionism and Post-Impressionism. With the turn of the century\, when I
 mpressionism had only recently become an accepted American style\, Souther
 n California experienced an influx of young artists\, most of whom had bee
 n trained in that style and had never known any other. The period from 190
 0 to 1915 marks the flowering of California Impressionism. It is part of t
 he continuum of American art's passion with landscape\, a lineage that beg
 an long before the early years of the American republic. This exhibition p
 resents masterpieces of California Impressionism from the Irvine Museum\, 
 arguably the most important collection of West Coast American Impressionis
 m. The Irvine Museum is the only museum in California dedicated to the pre
 servation and display of California Impressionism or plein-air painting. T
 he colorful collection of more than 60 California Impressionist paintings 
 presents the work of more than forty-four artists. Among the well-known ar
 tists featured in the exhibition are William Wendt\, Guy Rose\, Dona Schus
 ter\, Granville Redmond and Alson Clark.\n\nStart time: Museum Hours
