One Each features paintings by five young French artists who, in the 1860s, used the still life genre to experiment with new techniques and pictorial aims in painting. In these years, Paul Cézanne, Camille Pissarro, Édouard Manet, Frédéric Bazille, and Claude Monet were modernizing painting, creating a style—Impressionism—that would polarize the art world and have a profound impact on art to come. These five paintings combine familiar subjects from the kitchen counter and dinner table—a glass of wine, freshly-caught fish, a loaf of bread, lemons—with revolutionary artistic intent. The artists’ methods of making are put boldly on view—broad and emphatic brushwork, paint sculpted on the canvas. The Impressionists termed this audacious rebalancing of priorities and values in an artwork “sincerity.”
Organized by the Cincinnati Art Museum and the Toledo Museum of Art.

Join us on Wednesday, April 6, 2022 at 6 p.m. for a lecture by Maite Gomez-Rejón exploring how nineteenth-century French café and food culture intersects with the iconic imagery of Impressionism.
Gomez-Rejón has dedicated her career to exploring the nexus of art and culinary history through lectures, cooking classes, and tastings presented in museums and universities across the country and through videos on her website and YouTube channel, ArtBites: Cooking Art History. She earned an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a Grande Diplôme from the French Culinary Institute, New York, and worked in museums across the country before founding ArtBites in 2007.
Following the lecture, sommelier Kevin Hart will give a brief overview on the art of wine tasting, and the audience will be invited to the Great Hall to enjoy a wine tasting experience hosted by Hart & Cru and tour the exhibition, One Each: Still Lifes by Cézanne, Pissarro and Friends.

What do a jar of peaches, a black clock, an eel, and a vase of white roses have in common? All figured in still lifes created by the young Impressionists and their peers, who were forging new, radically simplified painting styles in the 1860s. Consume the visual feasts arranged by Paul Cézanne, Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Auguste Renoir, and others while exploring this richly sensual vein of subject matter.
