Meta-Impressionism / other exhibitions

New York 1886

Works by the Impressionists of Paris

Loans by Durand-Ruel

 

Introduction:
Sue Roe starts the prologue of her book “The private lives of the Impressionists” with the visit of Durand-Ruel at the American Art Association in the preparation of a large exhibition of about 300 works, all loans by Durand-Ruel, called “Works in Oil and Pastel by the Impressionists of Paris“. Sue Roe writes “he was making history” (R4,p2). And indeed this was the first (large) exhibition in the USA with the term “Impressionists” in it’s title. So, which artists and what art-works were presented as being Impressionists?

The exhibitions:
From the 10th of  April 1886 there was an exhibition organised by the American Art Association at the American Art Galleries (=AAG; 6 East 23d Street, New York) and from the 25th of May till June at the National Academy of Design (=NAD). So it partly coincided the 8th ‘impressionist’ exposition that was held from the 15th of May till the 15th of June in Paris. At the American Art Galleries there were 289 works exhibited divided in 5 galleries: A (=nos.1-34); B (=35-107; pastels and watercolours); C (=108-148); D (=149-208) and E (=209-289). See also the links to the catalogue at the bottom of this page. At the National Academy of Design some additional works were exhibited (R22;R116). The introduction in the catalogue was written by Théodore Duret. Already in the Fall of 1885 Durand-Ruel had plans for this large group exhibition (R2,p440).

The partakers:
There were many works exhibited of the 5 key Impressionists: Monet (46-5=41 works), Morisot (8x), Pissarro (41x), Renoir (35x maybe 38x) and Sisley (14x or 15). At the National Academy of Design there were at least 8 additional works of Monet exhibited (this gives a total of 46-5+8=49) and at least one by Pissarro (41+1=42).
Many other partakers of the ‘impressionist’ expositions were present. Boudin (22x!; or 23), Caillebotte (10x or maybe 11), Degas (20x or 23), Desboutin (4x), Forain (4x), Guillaumin (7x), Lépine (2x), Seurat (3x; in total probably 15 works), Signac (6x). So in total 14 of the (56+2-1=)57 partakers of the ‘impressionist’ expositions were present on this exhibition of “impressionists” in New York. Some sources state the there were several works of Cassatt exhibited (R44,p140), but she is not mentioned in the AAG catalogue.

On this exhibition of “Impressionists” there also were works exhibited of several Para-Impressionists: Armand Dumaresq (1x in gallery A); Benassit (1 study in gallery B); Besnard (1 interior in gallery A); John Lewis Brown (16x!, many horsemen; many in the B gallery); Fleury Chenu (probably the same as Henry Chenu; 2x); (probably) Fantin-Latour (1 still life; named Fautin); Flameng (8x; mainly marines); Huguet (3x, namely African scenes); (D.) Langée, probably meant is Désirée Laugée (2x); J. Paul Laurens (1x in gallery A); (Henri?) Lerolle (1x in the A gallery); Manet (15x?; at least 5x wrongly named Monet); Mélin (4x in the A gallery, 3 of them depicting dogs); (Frédéric?) Montenard (3 landscapes); (Alfred?) Roll (1 study in the A gallery); (Charles?) Serret (10x all in the B gallery).
Namely at the A and E gallery there were many partakers.

The catalogue:
Here you will find the catalogue of the exhibition at the American Art Gallery (=NY-AAG-1886) rendered in the alphabetical order of the partakers. The catalogue doesn’t seem fully correct, namely 5 works of Manet or attributed to Monet. For a link to the original catalogue see at the bottom of this page. When known I render also additional data about the exhibition at the National Academy of Design (=NY-NAD-1886). When known I also render what actual work (probably) was exhibited, referring to the number in the Catalogues Raisonné (=CR) of Monet (=R22) and the Critical Catalogue of Paintings (=CCP) of Pissarro (=R116).

(G.) Caillebotte:
The catalogue renders 10 paintings of Gustave Caillebotte. Note: Berhaut suggests that 11 works of Caillebotte were exhibited and that no.28 in the catalogue was CR36, Jeune homme au piano. But this is not affirmed in the catalogue, so I will not follow Berhaut in this. Main source for the additional info: Marie Berhaut, Catalogue Raisonné (1994=R102,p283+CR numbers).

Degas:
Denvir (wrongly) writes that 23 art-works were shown of Degas, while the AAG catalogue mentions 20 numbers of which just 2 were oil paintings (R5,p153). It is possible that additional works were exhibited at the National Academy of Design or outside the catalogue. One of the works that was exhibited was The singer in green (1884ca) (R5,p153).

Manet:
Note: the AAG catalogue assigns just 10 numbers to Édouard Manet, but 5 works assigned to Monet are made by Manet. Denvir (wrongly) writes that 17 works of Manet were shown (R5,p153). One of those works would be: 1873, 1CR207, The Railway, 93×114, NGA Washington =S1874-1260, Le chemin de fer, Gare Saint-Lazare (iR2;iR1;R5,p153), but this doesn’t seems to be affirmed by the AAG catalogue. Of course it is possible that works were exhibited outside the catalogue.

NY-AAG-1886-1, Portrait of De Fauvre (as Hamlet)

NY-AAG-1886-26, French Pointer.

Monet:
Note: Durand-Ruel has sold many of these exhibited works in 1886. Some of these works first were exhibited at the ‘impressionist’ expositions in Paris, some at international “impressionist” expositions in London and some at a solo exposition at the Durand-Gallery in Paris in 1883. Denvir (wrongly) claims that Monet exhibited 48 works (R5,p153). The AAG catalogue renders 46 numbers of which 5 wrongly were assigned to Monet and the NAD catalogue additionally renders 8 numbers, so this makes 46-5+8=49 works.

Durand-Ruel didn’t seem to have sold much shortly after this exhibition in 1886. My main source for the additional info is the Critical Catalogue of Paintings of Pissarro (=R116).

National Academy of Design:
Raeburn states that the same 38 art-works of Renoir were exhibited (R31,p315), but the AAG catalogue only renders 35 art-works. Denvir also mentions 38 works (R5,p153). So maybe 3 additional works were exhibited at the National Academy of Design.

 

Rolle:
Maybe this was the same as the (in those days) quite famous Alfred Roll (R161,p73). It is striking that there was just one study exhibited of him. Compare also Larolle↑.

NY-AAG-1886-19, Étude.

Serret:
There were 10 pastels and/or watercolours exhibited of the unknown Charles Serret. I assume these works were not very impressionistic in style.

Seurat:
In the catalogue there were 3 numbers mentioned of which 1 number contained 12 studies. According to Dora & Rewald there was probably another work exhibited that was not in the catalogue (R183,no138). So in total there were probably 15 art-works to be seen of Georges Seurat. Probably all in the C gallery.

NY-AAG-1886-112, Island Grande Jatte.

Sisley:
There were 14 paintings of Alfred Sisley exhibited. Note: Gale  mentions that there were 15 works shown in 1885 (sic) in New York (R53,p141); Denvir mentions the same number of exhibited works (R5,p153). Maybe there was a work exhibited outside the catalogue or a 15th work was exhibited at the National Academy of Design.
