The Blanton Museum of Art at The University of Texas at Austin presents Turner to Monet: Masterpieces from The Walters Art Museum from October 2, 2010 – January 2, 2011. This selection of forty nineteenth-century paintings includes works from Impressionist artists Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas, as well as British and American masters J.M.W. Turner, Gilbert Stuart and Asher B. Durand, among others. Ned Rifkin, director of The Blanton states, “This special exhibition will offer our visitors a rare opportunity to experience one of the country’s finest collections of nineteenth-century painting. We are thrilled to be able to bring works of this caliber to Austin and could not have done so without remarkable support from the community, from Joe and Teresa Long, and from the exhibition’s Presenting Corporate Sponsor, Chase.”

Selected by former Walters curator Eik Kahng for their art historical significance and fine quality, these paintings provide examples of the various artistic schools and movements of nineteenth-century painting in Western Europe and the United States. While each work is deeply satisfying on its own, together they make an exhibition that captures well the historical breadth and depth of The Walters collection and of nineteenth-century painting.

      One of the most beautiful displays of Art is from Turner to Monet at the Blanton Art Museum. It is a collection of Art from the Walters Art Museum. As you enter the gallery, the first thing that you will see is Mr. Walters portrait. You are certainly in for a treat when you view his portrait. As you start your tour you will see a painting of a sunset in the rugged countryside with huge clouds billowing Above. The Turner to Monet Art Exhibit reminds me of the song by Rufus Wainwright. He goes to the museum with his classmates and he asks the art teacher who his favorite painter is and the art teacher says TURNER.I of course, love Monet’s art. Also, you should stop by the museum store and check out some of their items from butterfly pins to clutch bags with Monet as the print on the bag; also check out the umbrella’s with the Monet type print. Would I go again? You bet. 5*’s. Collapse
