The Queensland Art Gallery will be the only venue in the world to show the exhibition 'American Impressionism and Realism: A Landmark Exhibition from the Met', featuring more than 70 impressionist and realist paintings from The Metropolitan’s collection of American paintings and sculpture. The exhibition will present works by some of America’s foremost artists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including James McNeill Whistler, John Singer Sargent, Winslow Homer, Childe Hassam, William Merritt Chase, Maurice Prendergast and Mary Cassatt.

Highlighting how Australian artists responded to key artistic developments of the time, more than 30 iconic Australian paintings will also be included in the exhibition. Australian artists will include Tom Roberts, Charles Conder, Frederick McCubbin and Rupert Bunny. The exhibition will include light-filled landscapes and seascapes, magnificent portraiture and images that reflect aspects of modern life — leisure, cities, and intimate depictions of women and children.
