Exhibition HistoryTMA, Whistler: Influences, Friends, and the Not-So-Friendly, Feb. 26 - May 30, 2010.Label TextCharles Émile Jacque was a member of the Barbizon school of painters. This group of artists often worked in the Fontainebleau Forest region of France. They were part of a movement that turned away from academic Romanticism. Popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Romanticism emphasized intuition and imagination. The Barbizon painters were more interested in naturalism and painted directly from nature, a practice that Whistler also employed. Other artists in this exhibition associated with the Barbizon school include Jean-François Millet and Charles-François Daubigny.- Works on Paper
