This fascinating exhibition examines how French painter Claude Monet (1840-1926) and his contemporaries responded to the urban landscape that resulted from the Industrial Revolution (1760-1840).

“Monet and the Modern City” captures the essence of the atmospheric conditions of the modern industrial environment that fascinated artists such as Monet, Camille Pisarro (1830-1903), James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), Félix Buhot (1847-1898) and Auguste Lepère (1787-1859).

Pittsburgh’s own industrial aesthetic will be represented by works from the French printmaker Jean-Emile Laboureur’s (1877-1943) “Ten Etchings of Pittsburgh” series and grandiose views of steel mills by American artists Aaron Gorson (1872-1933), Joseph Pennell (1857-1926) and Joseph Stella (1877-1946).

The exhibit is being staged in the museum’s Gallery One. For more information, call (412) 622-3131.
