Electric Paris is the first exhibition to explore the ways in which artists depicted older oil and gas lamps and the newer electric lighting that emerged by the turn of the twentieth century. The show will feature some 50 to 60 works––paintings, prints, photographs, and drawings. On view during most of its run in conjunction with a complementary exhibition in the Science Gallery. Electric Paris will provide a focused understanding of the new lighting technologies, their visual properties, and their transformative impact on the visual and cultural landscape of the city.
