The Impressionists: The Other French Revolution, a two-DVD set, introduces viewers to one of the most influential schools in the history of visual arts: The French Impressionists / Pointillists of the 19th century. Art scholars chronicle the life, historical context, and the most celebrated works of artists such as:
1) Edgar Degas
2) Edouard Manet
3) Claude Monet
4) Berthe Morisot
5) Camille Pissaro
6) Pierre Auguste Renoir
7) George Seurat
8) Alfred Sisley
What is remarkable in reviewing these names is to (re)discover how much artistic talent was present in France, especially in Paris, in the second-half of the 19th century.
To their credit, art scholars clearly explain the early struggles of the French Impressionists to overcome the artistic conservatism of the state-run AcadA mie. The annual juried art show, the Salon de Paris, was the embodiment of the AcadA mie's reluctance to embrace change. In the end, the AcadA mie was no match to stop the eventual triumph of these engaged painters who broke many rules in revolutionizing painting techniques and subjects. The on-location photography in France gives viewers a better appreciation of the surroundings that were familiar to these artists. For all its merits, The Impressionists DVD-set cannot be a substitute for standing in front of these masterpieces that assure their authors a place in the artistic pantheon of humanity.
