In the context of massive social and political change that also marked this era, painters and photographers composed competing visions of France as modern and industrialized or as rural and anti-modern. \u003ci\u003eImpressionist France\u003c\/i\u003e explores the resonances between landscape art and national identity as reflected in the paintings and photographs made during this period, examining and illustrating in particular the works of key artists such as Édouard Baldus, Gustave Le Gray, the Bisson Frères, Édouard Manet, Jean-François Millet, Claude Monet, Charles Nègre, and Camille Pissarro. This ambitious premise focuses on the whole of France, exploring the relationship between landscape art and the notion of French nationhood across the country's varied and spectacular landscapes in seven geographical sections and four scholarly essays, which provide new information regarding the production and impact of French Impressionism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the Saint Louis Museum of Art \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNelson-Atkins Museum of Art\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(10\/19\/13-02\/09\/14)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSaint Louis Art Museum\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e(03\/16\/14-07\/06\/14)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Kelly, April M.
