EN PLEIN AIR—IMPRESSIONS
OF PAINTING IN GIVERNY & OLD LYME premiered
on June 25, 2008 at the Florence Griswold Museum in historic

aesthetics and themes of early American Impressionism, the lives of impressionist painters and their paintings through an immersion of movement, text, light and sound.

Giverny—American Painters in France, 1885–1915,
Selections from the Terra Foundation for American Art. [New
York Times exhibition review] EN PLEIN AIR is lit by animated video projections of the exhibition paintings — providing an ever changing landscape of Giverny and Old Lyme where a Painter Pierrot travels in search of the light, a muse and the good advices of Claude Monet.
