The 9th annual American Impressionist Society’s Small Works Showcase at The Fallbrook Art Center

 

Making an Impression

There’s still time to catch the incredible 9th annual American Impressionist Society’s (AIS) Small Works Showcase now through March 29, at The Fallbrook Center For The Arts. This exhibition celebrates Impressionism's intricate beauty and artistry through a curated collection of over 170 small-scale artworks. This one-time-only Southern California pays homage to the traditional techniques and themes of American Impressionism.

There are 2500 members of the American Impressionist Society, whose Director/Curator Brenda Andrews says, “Art has the unique ability to connect us to our emotions and to one another. …. the beauty of these small-scale pieces lies in their ability to convey profound narratives with a mere brushstroke, inviting viewers into the artist's world.”

 

A standout of exhibition is the diversity of subject matter coupled with the attention to light that is the hallmark of Impressionism. And in a world where larger-than-life pieces often dominate, this exhibition serves as a refreshing reminder of the power of simplicity and restraint.

 

The exhibition also includes works experimenting with more abstract interpretations of Impressionist principles. These pieces challenge the traditional boundaries of the genre, incorporating modern techniques and perspectives.

 

Online sales from $500 to $2,500 are now possible worldwide. Each acquisition comes with a provenance from  four national art publications containing this exhibition and Fallbrook Art Center, adding significant value to the purchase. Guided tours are free. 

Artist Noel Glaset stated, “ The art center’s  small works show is one great painting after another. It’s like a Disneyland for artists.” 

This exhibition is a vibrant reminder of how art can inspire and resonate across generations.

Here is a small selection of just a few of the genres represented. We couldn't resist either cow's head images!
