Impressionism - Revenge of the Nice

Synopsis

Contemporary art critic Matthew Collings reappraises Impressionism, focussing on Courbet, Manet, Monet and Cezanne and shows that, even though the contemporary art world seemingly despises the movement, they owe a great debt to the avant-garde impulses of the artists concerned. He discusses the principles of impressionism and the development of the movement.
