    I have chosen the Revolution in Paint exhibit from the North Carolina Museum of Art because the art that was created during the late 18th century introduced the use of impressionism and the drastic change from artworks created and influenced by the Renaissance to those created to express a new and emerging Industrial Era. Looking over the virtual art exhibit the display begins with examples of art created and influenced by the Renaissance followed by examples new pigments, collapsible paint tubes and storage that allowed painters to leave the studio and paint wherever they wished. With substantial information provided on the creation of impressionism during the time period the exhibit ends with a couple of paintings using impressionism to show the overall change in color, technique, and insight of art. Curating pieces and placing them in a chronological order, viewers are able to see the transformation from one style to another with new advancements in the art world due to the Industrial Revolution happening during this time. While I am not the curator myself I believe that the intended audience of the museum are artists and history buffs interested in the creation and production of items that led to the introduction of impressionism.…
