Impressionism and the Caribbean: Francisco Oller and His Transatlantic World at the Brooklyn Museum.

Don't miss the last few weeks of the first U.S. exhibition to present Oller's work within both its New and Old World contexts.

The painter Francisco Oller contributed greatly to the development of modern art in both Europe and the Caribbean and revolutionized the school of painting in his native Puerto Rico.

Come enjoy the last few weeks of this beautiful exhibition with works by Oller, Homer, Pissaro, Cezanne and others. The exhibition closes January 3, 2016.
