| NOTES: |
Without a presence in the prestigious annual Salon, the Impressionists were doomed to financial struggle. Though they occasionally succumbed to fits of depression - in 1866, Monet made a half-hearted suicide attempt - their innovative approach to painting attracted new adherents, including Berthe Morisot, the first female member of the movement. Then in October 1869, Monet and Renoir began setting up their easels near a popular Paris swimming spot. Painting rapidly, using short strokes, commas and dots, they strove to capture the feel of a fleeting moment - the shimmer of water, the movement of a bather. These canvases, considered by many to be the first purely Impressionist worst, are showcased in this episode. |
