The American impressionist movement was inspired by French artists like Renoir and Monet, but it went in its own direction. This shows as much about America as a country as it does about its art as a creative powerhouse. It's a story about a love of gardens and a desire to keep nature alive in a country that's becoming more and more urban. This beautiful film takes you to studios, gardens, and famous places in the United States, the United Kingdom, and France. The Artist's Garden: American Impressionism includes the sold-out exhibition The Artist's Garden: American Impressionism and the Garden Movement, 1887–1920, which started at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and ended at the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme, Connecticut.
