Americans in Paris @ The National Gallery

March 24 Cultural London

Paris was the centre of the art world in the 19th century, and a magnet for American art students and artists, eager to experience the cosmopolitan delights of the city and to steep themselves in its artistic atmosphere. For the first time in Britain, this exhibition will look at why American artists were drawn to Paris, what they produced there, and how their art changed. The exhibition includes well-known artists - James McNeill Whistler, John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt - and others who will largely be unknown to audiences here.

Space is limited so if you are interested in going, please sign up with the Richmond Activities Office ASAP. You will need to pay a £5.00 refundable deposit.

Meet 1:30pm in Main Building Reception. Please have your travelcard already purchased.
