WRITTEN IN FRENCH
Let's experience Impressionism through a selection of quotes taken from correspondence, interviews and writings by Impressionist artists: Frédéric Bazille, Marie Bracquemond, Gustave Caillebotte, Mary Cassatt, Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Armand Guillaumin, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley.
With 54 reproductions of impressionist works, this work offers a journey within the group of artists, around Claude Monet, who chose to exhibit on the sidelines of the official Salon between 1874 and 1886.
Criticized during their lifetime, considered as daubers , the impressionists shake up tradition and offer us the revolution of the outdoors, realistic subjects and celebrate modernity.
"I had sent something made in Le Havre, from my window, the sun in the mist and in the foreground some ship's masts pointing... I was asked for the title for the catalog, it really couldn't pass for a view of Le Havre ; I replied: "Put on Impression . "We made an impression of it and the jokes flourished. " Claude Monet
