French Impressionism
A series written and narrated by Edwin Mullins
The uncompromising
Impressionists were first shunned by the French
Academy for flouting the accepted conventions of art. But American millionaires began to buy their work in quantity and saved many of them from outright poverty. In today's programme Edwin Mullins looks at MONET'S
Women in the garden, Milton Brown describes RENOIR'S
Luncheon of the boating party and Alistair Smith DEGAS 'S
Woman in a tub, all originally shown in the series One
Hundred Great Paintings.
