The Impressionists weren’t all French. A few years after Degas, Cézanne, Renoir, Monet, and Morisot mounted the movement’s first exhibition, in 1874 at Boulevard des Capucines, the Belfast-born artist Sir John Lavery left London for Paris and adopted the group’s techniques—hatching, dry brushing, and stippling with vivacious color palettes. Lavery then brought these techniques to Glasgow, where he settled in 1885 and befriended the Glasgow Boys, a group of radical Scottish painters. Lavery traveled widely, visiting Morocco and later New York, painting scenes from his journeys. In conjunction with Impressionism’s 150th anniversary, this exhibition celebrates the noteworthy Irish Impressionist. —Elena Clavarino
