Within this framework, the invention of the camera and the development of early fine art photography in that particular setting will be seen as the specific catalysts that brought about a new approach to painting.\n\nThe project will showcase paintings, photographs, and drawings by some of the most treasured artists in the Western canon\u2013Gustave Courbet, Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, and Claude Monet among them\u2013as well as pioneering photographers such as Gustave Le Gray and Henri Le Secq. Inspired by the scenic Normandy coast of France, these works\u2013including representations of beach scenes, seascapes, fishing villages, resorts, and the region's pastoral beauty\u2013will be brought together with archival materials related to early tourism and regional expressions of French nationalism from popular culture for an innovative examination of the impact of the then-new medium of photography on ideas of image making, the recording of passing time, the capacities of painting, and the rise of Impressionism itself.\n\nOrganized by UMMA, this exhibition is made possible in part by the Florence Gould Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, Masco Corporation, and the University of Michigan's Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research.
