Impressionism
25 Pins
Impressionism / A new group of artists were born from the tension of the Salon des Refusés, an exhibition of works denied entrance to the official salon. They came together when art critic Louis Leroy coined the title "Impressionism", a stab at the integrity of the painters, specifically Monet. Although not well received by its generation, Impressionism has become one of the most well-loved art periods by the public today.
Fashion and Frills

Fashion and Frills / Fine art takes many forms and for centuries designers have been creating masterpieces meant to fill closets and jewelry boxes. Take a look at some items from our collection that are "on fleek".

Flavorful Fare in Rozzelle Court / We think we've cornered the market on the most unique place to dine in Kansas City. Enjoy delicious lunches, brunches, dinners and desserts in the dramatic style of a 15th-century Italian courtyard, smack dab in the middle of what Yelp reviewers voted the best museum in the United States! Buon appetito!

Oh my gosh- it's a Bosch!

Oh my gosh- it's a Bosch! / The recent authentication of a work by Hieronymus Bosch at the Nelson-Atkins grabbed news headlines all around the world. The rarity of his work (only 25 of his paintings are known to exist) and his unusual choice of subject matter has earned him fame in the art-world as well as a place in popular culture. Check out this board dedicated to all things Bosch!

Let's Go Dutch
19 Pins
Let's Go Dutch / During the Dutch Golden Age, Dutch artists broke with conventions and took liberties to create images that reflected their republic’s socially conservative, yet worldly, aspirations. The result was a vast body of work enormously original in approach and varied in subject matter. Here are some examples of the Dutch masters from our permanent collection (Pssst... They are FREE to see... Every day!). Enjoy!
