EXploring Modernity
Across the Atlantic - Online Programming
Explore the Art Museum of South Texas and the exhibition Across the Atlantic: American Impressionism through the French Lens to discover what it means to be modern. Dr. Sandrine Sanos presents four video vignettes that use the works on display to examine how impressionism reflects the developing modernity of France and the U.S. from the 18th to 21st century.

Much like the work in the exhibition Across the Atlantic, these songs and musicians continue the long-standing history of exchanges and cross-pollination between France and the rest of the world. It's a perfect soundtrack for a walk through AMST's galleries or outside in the Corpus Christi fall weather.
