Over the course of the nineteenth century, the genre of landscape painting shifted from one of the lowliest subjects for academic painters to one of the primary genres of avant-garde engagement. Key to this transformation were the unassuming, informal landscape paintings of the Barbizon school. Drawing on the Kemper Art Museum's rich collection of nineteenth-century landscape painting, this exhibition will present close to forty works by the Barbizon's leaders, lesser-known figures, and a selection of French and Americans influenced by the movement.
