The Denver Art Museum and the Museum Barberini in Potsdam have co-organized "The Honest Eye: Camille Pissarro's Impressionism," an exhibition dedicated to the work of the pioneering Impressionist painter. The show is presented by a wide array of donors including Jana and Fred Bartlit, Barbara Bridges, Bridget and John Grier, the Kristin and Charles Lohmiller Exhibitions Fund, and Craig Ponzio, with additional support from foundations, corporate sponsors, and the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD).
This exhibition matters because it brings together institutional collaboration between a major U.S. museum and a leading German museum to spotlight Pissarro's often-overlooked role in the Impressionist movement. The extensive list of local and national funders, including a federal indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities, underscores the broad public and private investment in preserving and presenting art historical scholarship.
