Manet, Renoir, and the Art of the Impressionists
The impressionists were considered radicals in their time. Artists like Manet and Renoir violated the rules of academic painting. They constructed their pictures with freely brushed colors. Their subjects were the people who populated their everyday lives, from family and friends to fellow artists, set in real scenes and locations wearing the fashion of modern Parisian life. Understand what defines impressionism, explore the iconic works of the leading Impressionist painters, and delve into these artists' lives and culture as their new way of seeing and painting revolutionized art.
