Dixon (Dixon Art Gallery, from Jun 26, 2011 12:25 PM to Oct 09, 2011 12:25 PM)

The Dixon in Memphis is the first and only American museum to present the landmark retrospective of Jean-Louis Forain, essential member of the Impressionist circle, protege of Degas, and mentor to Toulouse-Lautrec. Don't miss this unique opportunity to explore the world of Forain and turn of the century Paris through 130 paintings, pastels, drawings and decorative objects on view through October 9. The most ambitious exhibition in the Dixon's thirty-five year history, this seminal retrospective of Impressionist artist Jean-Louis Forain (1852-1931) was produced in partnership with Paris’ Petit Palais. Assembled from museum and private collections from across the globe, the once-in-a-generation exhibition traces the arc of the insightful artist’s prolific career with 130 works spanning over a fifty-year time period, including twenty works from the Dixon’s own collection of 58 works by Forain.
