En Plein Air: Artists of the Barbizon School highlights works by landscape painters who rejected the conservative standards of the French academic painters in the 1800s. Fuelled by the changing social and political landscape, they paved the way for Impressionism by leaving their studios to paint directly from nature, treating their scenes as independent subjects rather than metaphors for human concerns. This exhibition features work by Maurice Levis, Arnold Marc Gorter, Hippolyte Camille Delpy, Claude E. Picault and Jose Weiss.
