Join the curators of Farm to Table: Art, Food, and Identity in the Age of Impressionism for an illuminating conversation on how late-19th-century French artists captured the deep ties between food, culture, and national identity. From bustling markets and rural harvests to intimate kitchen scenes and grand banquets, works by Monet, Gauguin, Pissarro, and their contemporaries reveal the social and political shifts of the era including the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian War.
Co-curators Andrew Eschelbacher and Lloyd DeWitt will discuss the inspirations, research, and behind-the-scenes stories that shaped the exhibition, offering fresh perspectives on the artistry and cultural significance of these Impressionist masterpieces. Joined by SAM's Ann M Barwick Curator of American Art, Theresa Papanikolas, they’ll explore how themes from over a century ago continue to resonate today.
