John House

    19 de abril de 1945 – 7 de febrero de 2012

    John House fue el decano de los historiadores del impresionismo. Lejos de ser superficiales o complacientes, los impresionistas fueron revelados en los escritos de House como agudos observadores del cambio social. En lugar de ser un movimiento autónomo, se mostró que eran negociadores ingeniosos de las convenciones e instituciones artísticas. House desempeñó un papel esencial en la transformación del estudio académico de este período y presidió el desarrollo de su apreciación pública a través de las espectaculares exposiciones que curó.
