John House

    19 aprile 1945 – 7 febbraio 2012

    John House fu il decano degli storici dell'impressionismo. Lungi dall'essere superficiali o compiacenti, gli impressionisti furono rivelati negli scritti di House come acuti osservatori del cambiamento sociale. Invece di essere un movimento autonomo, furono mostrati come abili negoziatori di convenzioni e istituzioni artistiche. House svolse un ruolo essenziale nel trasformare lo studio accademico di questo periodo e presiedette allo sviluppo del suo apprezzamento pubblico attraverso le spettacolari mostre da lui curate.
