Exhibition on Screen at The Moviehouse: "Painting the Modern Garden: Monet to Matisse"

The Moviehouse presents an ideal film for lovers of art or lovers of gardens.

For many great artists, the garden has long been considered a desirable subject for the expression of color, light and atmosphere. Claude Monet is perhaps the most well-known painter of gardens, but other greats, such as Van Gogh, Pissarro, Matisse and Sargent, all viewed the garden as a meaningful focus for their talents. The work of these great artists, along with many others, were featured in a major 2016 exhibition titled "Painting the Modern Garden" from The Royal Academy in London.

Directed by David Bickerstaff, this dazzling film takes a magical journey from the gallery to the gardens, to Giverny and Seebull and other glorious grounds favored by artists. Discover how early-20th-century artists designed and cultivated their own gardens to explore contemporary utopian ideas and motifs of color and form.

Screenings are set for May 7 at 6:30 p.m. and May 12 at 1 p.m.
