Collecting Impressionism at LACMA

How LACMA built its Impressionist holdings, from early American and California Impressionist purchases to Degas and Pissarro given by Hollywood collectors.

Late 19th-century French visual culture reached into prints, photography, decorative arts and fashion, yet American museums still tell the period through Impressionist painting. The show asks why, following the donors and artists who shaped LACMA’s collection and showing how changing taste, and gifts of art, helped the museum grow with the city. Among the works is Jean Béraud’s street scene of the Boulevard des Capucines.
