Today, their art draws record-breaking crowds to museums and fetches millions of dollars at auction. Yet critics once derided the same paintings as scandalous, ridiculous and even just plain ugly. The impressionists opens with a look at the men who formed the core of the movement ; Degas, Pissarro, Renoir and Monet. Despite their disparate backgrounds and temperaments, they were drawn together by a belief that painting needed to change, and they worked together - and fought with one another - to define what shape that transformation should take. Filled with images of their earliest work and accounts of their struggles to gain acceptance in the all-important government-sponsored Salon, this hour introduces the men who changed the way the world looked at art. |
