The Impressionists: The Other French Revolution description
This epic documentary does a wonderful job of recapturing the revolutionary impact the impressionists made while providing a historical and artistic context for this extraordinary group of painters. The work of Monet, Degas, Morisot, and their fellow impressionists has now become so familiar that its power to shock has all but disappeared.

The Impressionists: The Other French Revolution Customer Reviews

♥♥♥♥♥

luminous paintings elegant music

Not only are the paintings themselves almost better than the original (just kidding, kinda) due to the luminosity imposed by the screen, the lovely score is transporting. This set places the Impressionists in a historical framework (though I didn't hear mention of Monet's studio being usurped as military storage during the war and his paintings used as linoleum-don't know if this is true or not, but had heard it before.)
I was rather shocked that Monet got his friend and benefactor's wife pregnant and had the audacity to move her and the baby in with himself and his wife. Monet's wife got ill and died several years later, no doubt stressed out by the situation. Then Monet paints her dead.
This dvd really hits home how you may appreciate someone's work, but not necessarily who they are as human beings.
