Summary:
In concert with the reopening of the University of Michigan Museum of
Art (UMMA) to the public, this edition coincides with the debut
exhibition at the newly restored and expanded museum. The striking,
full-colour illustrations and fascinating albumen and salt prints
augment the detailed study of a location and nineteenth-century
timeframe that was instrumental in the way painting and other art
forms were produced. Within this context, the argument is forged that
a novel set of dynamics - social, artistic, scientific, and economic
- was the catalyst for a change in the rendering of art,
specifically, early Impressionism. This rising school of thought
renewed and revolutionised the direction painting, drawing, and
photography carved out, the foundation and starting point being the
Normandy coastline with all its beauty and uniqueness.
