TFAO also suggests these DVD or VHS videos:
Americans in Paris, 30 minute DVD published in
2006. "Paris was the centre of the art world in the nineteenth century
and for American artists, its lure was irresistible. They flocked there
in their thousands, eager to establish their artistic credentials. As their
letters home prove, initial impressions of Paris were overwhelming: the
light, the noise, the smells, the contrasts. Theatres, cafés, gardens
and boulevards provided rich subject matter for these painters, as did their
fellow artists, often portrayed as the elegantly dressed flâneur (dandy),
or as the bohemian, studiedly careless in appearance... This fascinating
film, much of it shot on location, captures the excitement that Paris conveyed
to its American visitors, and provides a vivid sense of what American artists
retained of their experience, and brought back with them to America."

An easy way to identify specific texts is to use Resource Library's search feature, as articles and essays are fully indexed. Since American art museums often focus on local art history, an index to assist in identification of articles and essays with a regional focus is useful.
