Impressionism, the Movement that Forever Changed Art

From 1848 until the end of the century, a great evolution occurred in art resulting in four succeeding movements: Naturalism, Realism, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism. From the time they met in the early 1860's Claude Monet and Auguste Renoir changed the way art was perceived in the future. Amongst other revolutionary changes (really, many were very angry), they began painting their landscapes outside, on location, rather than in a studio. This immersion with the subject and emphasis on lighting and visible brush strokes allowed for the development of artists decades later like Van Gogh, Matisse and Picasso. Your guide will bring you deep into the Paris of the 1860's and 70's that changed the way art was made, thought of and accessed. While witnessing the vibrant strokes of color that led to an artistic revolution, your guide Avi will explain not only the works but the changes in society centered in Paris.
