The Denver Art Museum and the Museum Barberini in Potsdam have co-organized a new exhibition titled 'The Honest Eye: Camille Pissarro's Impressionism,' which opens with a member preview on Saturday. The show is supported by a wide range of donors, including Jana and Fred Bartlit, Barbara Bridges, Bridget and John Grier, the Kristin and Charles Lohmiller Exhibitions Fund, Craig Ponzio, and many others, as well as by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities and promotional support from CBS Colorado.
This exhibition matters because it brings together two major institutions to spotlight Camille Pissarro, a key figure in Impressionism whose work often receives less attention than that of his contemporaries. The extensive list of funders and institutional backing underscores the cultural and educational significance of the show, while the member preview signals the museum's effort to engage its community early. The exhibition also highlights the ongoing collaboration between American and European museums in presenting art historical scholarship.
