| The life story and multitude of work produced by Jean Charlot (1898–1979) reveal an artist who traveled frequently, but who sought great inspiration from local environments. Born in Paris, Charlot studied at the École des Beaux-Arts and after he spent time in Brittany, he developed an interest in popular art. This interest would stay with him when he traveled to Mexico, where he participated in the Mexican mural movement and produced numerous prints in response to Mexican culture. After 1949, he was based in Hawaii, where he actively engaged with the local culture and was inspired to visit the Fiji Islands. Charlot’s legacy continues through his enormous artistic production that portrays his individualistic response to a well-traveled life.

| | | Life and Truth: French Landscapes from Corot to Monet is now open. Bringing together works from the Museum’s permanent collection and a group of loans from local private collections, this small, focused exhibition explores the rise of plein air painting in the later nineteenth century. Works by Corot, Courbet, Théodore Rousseau, Narcisse Diaz, Charles-François Daubigny, and other artists of the Barbizon school provide a context for the Museum’s own Haystacks at Chailly by Claude Monet, an important early work painted during a visit to Chailly, a village often frequented by the Barbizon artists.
