Art Appreciation & Fine Arts

French Impressionism: Challenging the Artistic Tradition

Start: 05 June 2010 at 9:30 a.m.
End: 05 June 2010 at 4:30 p.m.
With Alice Foster

We forget that this much loved period in art began as a radical response to mid-nineteenth century French academic taste. The painters we view with such affection today, including Monet, Renoir and Pisarro, were treated with suspicion and derision in the 1870s but it was they who developed a new artistic language and were the pioneers of the modern movement. Join our visual journey through light and colour.
