𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘄𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺: 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀, 𝟭𝟴𝟳𝟰 - The Impressionists are the most popular group in art history; millions flock every year to marvel at their masterpieces. But, to begin with, they were scorned, penniless outsiders. 1874 was the year that changed everything; the first Impressionists, “hungry for independence”, broke the mould by holding their own exhibition outside official channels. Impressionism was born and the art world was changed forever. What led to that first groundbreaking show 150 years ago? The story is told not by historians and curators but in the words of those who witnessed the dawn of Impressionism: the artists, press and people of Paris, 1874. See the show that changed everything on the big screen.
