PRONOUNCING EACH IMPRESSIONIST’S NAME

PRONOUNCING EACH IMPRESSIONIST’S NAME
Pronouncing a foreign names can be challenging. It’s no different with the names of some of the most famous artists.

At River City we believe that entertainment can also be educational. In the interest of ‘Edutainment’ here is a handy guide to help you correctly pronounce the names of the 10 artists featured in upcoming exhibition, THE IMPRESSIONISTS.

The 10 artists are all French except for one, Vincent Van Gogh. Imaging for a moment you are visiting Paris. First is the name, then is how you speak it out loud. Here we go.

Édouard Manet : AY-DWAR MAN-AY
Claude Monet : KLOAD MO-NAY
Edgar Degas : ED-GAR DUH-GAH
Pierre-Auguste Renoir : P’YAIR O-GOOST RUHN-WAR
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec : AHN-REE DUH TOO-LOOZ LOH-TREK
Henri Rousseau : AHN-REE ROO SO
Georges Seurat : GE-ORGES SEU-RA
Vincent van Gogh : VIN-SENT VAN GOKH
Paul Cézanne : PALL SAY-ZAN
Paul Gauguin : PALL GO-GA

Now that you have mastered that, why not practice on your friends. Tell them about THE IMPRESSIONISTS in 19th century France, and the 10 artists who rebelled against the art institution of the day. List out the artists for them.

THE IMPRESSIONISTS exhibition is showing at the Museum of Digital Art (MODA) on the 2nd floor of River City Bangkok from Friday 8 January until 18 April 2021. In this multimedia exhibition you can delve you into Paris in the 19th century with reproduced masterpieces, recreations of the famous cafe where the rebel artists met, stories about the artists, plus the immersive rooms of light and music.
