The renewed landscape gave crowded, displaced urban dwellers green spaces to enjoy, while suburbanites and countrydwellers began cultivating their own flower gardens. As public engagement with gardening grew, artists increasingly featured flowers and parks in their work.Public Parks, Private Gardens includes masterworks by artists such as Bonnard, Cassatt, Czanne, Corot, Daumier, Van Gogh, Manet, Matisse, Monet, and Seurat.
