Monday Night LIVE In the Zone - "Impressionism"

Very impressive,  Impressionism that is.

Renoir

Degas

The 1800's to early 1900's were a time of incredible discovery and experimentation in the art world.  The 'Impressionists' were mainly in France, centred around Paris, and together ushered Art through  the Victorian age, the Industrial Revolution and their Neoclassical and Romantic eras.

Are you familiar with all of these names? Who is your favourite?
