More than 150 years ago, on April 15, 1874, the first impressionist exhibition opened in Paris. "Hungry for independence," Monet, Renoir, Degas, Morisot, Pissarro, Sisley and Cézanne finally decided to free themselves from the rules by holding their own exhibition, outside official channels, and impressionism was born.

Keeping this historic date in mind, Alan Barnes fine art is delighted to welcome American impressionist John Modesitt to its Dallas studio for an exhibition now through August 8th.

Modesitt's paintings are easy on the eye, and viewers and collectors alike, gravitate towards the world from his perspective, revealing beauty and drama in everyday scenes. With a deep-rooted connection to his years studying the masters of Impressionism, John's coastal paintings demonstrate a profound grasp of light, color, and emotion, influenced by both artistic tradition and personal experiences.

Modesitt is one of the most versatile and well loved artists to have ever worked with Alan Barnes Fine Art, and we highly recommend these paintings to our new and seasoned collectors. The exhibition is available to view by appointment, Monday through Saturday. To schedule an appointment, email info@alanbarnesfineart.com or call 214.828.1311.
