Documentary on American Impressionism and the Garden Movement
The documentary 'Il giardino degli artisti. L’impressionismo americano', directed by Phil Grabsky, explores American Impressionist painting and its connection to the Garden Movement (1887–1920). American painters, inspired by French Impressionism, used nature-themed art as a response to industrialization. The film features artists Mary Cassatt (1844–1926), friend of Degas, Monet, and Morisot, who focused on women and motherhood; Philip Leslie Hale (1865–1931), also a writer and teacher; and John Singer Sargent (1856–1925), born in Florence, a cosmopolitan painter. The documentary is part of the 'Grande Arte al Cinema' series, distributed in Italy exclusively by Nexo Digital in collaboration with Sky Arte HD and MYmovies.it.
