Renoir, Impressionism, and Full-Length Painting
FIRST COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF RENOIR’S FULL-LENGTH CANVASES BRINGS TOGETHER ICONIC WORKS FROM EUROPE AND THE U.S. FOR AN EXCLUSIVE NEW YORK CITY EXHIBITION RENOIR, IMPRESSIONISM, AND FULL-LENGTH PAINTING February 7 through May 13, 2012 This winter and spring The Frick Collection presents an exhibition of nine iconic Impressionist paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, offering the first comprehensive study of the artist’s engagement with the full-length format. Its use was associated with the official Paris Salon from the mid-1870s to mid- 1880s, the decade that saw the emergence of a fully fledged Impressionist aesthetic. The project was inspired by Renoir’s La Promenade of 1875–76, the most significant Impressionist work in the Frick’s permanent collection. Intended for public display, the vertical grand-scale canvases in the exhibition are among the artist’s most daring and ambitious presentations of contemporary subjects and are today considered masterpieces of Impressionism. The show and accompanying catalogue draw on contemporary criticism, literature, and archival documents to explore the motivation behind Renoir’s full-length figure paintings as well as their reception by critics, peers, and the public. Recently-undertaken technical studies of the canvases will also shed new light on the artist’s working methods. Works on loan from international institutions are La Parisienne from Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919), Dance at Bougival, 1883, oil on canvas, 71 5/8 x 38 5/8 inches, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Picture Fund; photo: © 2012 Museum the National Museum Wales, Cardiff; The Umbrellas (Les Parapluies) from The of Fine Arts, Boston National Gallery, London (first time since 1886 on view in the United States); and Dance in the City and Dance in the Country from the Musée d’Orsay, Paris.

Chicago-Area Museums Contribute to Illinois in Valuable Ways
CHICAGO-AREA MUSEUMS, GARDENS, ZOOS, AND AQUARIA Proudly Serving Illinois for 160 years Chicago-area museums contribute to Illinois in valuable ways. ECONOMIC IMPACT: As employers, contractors, and tourist attractions, Chicago-area museums have a major regional economic impact, leading to jobs, tourism, and improved quality of life. $850 million total estimated annual economic impact 3,700 employees 23,000 full-time equivalent jobs supported 5 million non-Illinois visitors annually $40 million in state tax revenue $38 million in city tax revenue These leading museums represent a unique public/private partnership. Of their combined budgets of $427 million, only 14% comes from public sources (Cook County Forest Preserve District/Chicago Park District). The remaining 86% comes from admissions, private philanthropy, competitive research grants, facilities rental fees, museum store sales, and other earned revenue sources. EDUCATION: Chicago-area museums are a resource for local organizations across Illinois to provide effective education, outreach and affordable access. All Illinois school groups are admitted free of charge. 1.6 million school children visit Chicago museums each year. Illinois residents enjoy 52 free days at most of the major Chicago museums. Illinois teachers and active military personnel receive free admission every day. Museums make meaningful contributions to educating a new generation, through: o Teacher Training o Pre-K through 12 Curricula o Support of Home School Communities o Teen Intern Programs o Lifelong Learning Programs for Seniors . EXHIBITING GLOBAL TREASURES: Museums contribute to Chicago’s status as a world-class city. We safeguard 50 million+ collections holdings.
