If you have out of town guests and have no idea how to keep them entertained, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston has an impressive — pun intended — option.
The Age of Impressionism, a traveling exhibition that comprises 73 works by notable French artists, on loan from the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Mass., opens Sunday and is on view through March 23, 2014. The collection represents some of the most stunning and most significant paintings and sculptures produced in a style that today has wide appeal.
“After the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Art, the Clark collection is the most important collection of Impressionist paintings in the country, and here it is in Houston,” Gary Tinterow, MFAH director, says during an interview with KHOU Ch. 11 news anchor Lily Jang.
Among paintings by Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Camille
