Abstract:
"Impressionism was born out of the desire to paint modern life - 'the ephemeral, the fugitive, the contingent' - and Haussmann's Paris of the 1870s created a new modernity, with boulevards, shops and cafes frequented by a newly wealthy bourgeoisie who would then travel out to the newly created suburbs to pursue leisure activities along the Seine. Breaking away from traditional methods and subjects, the Impressionists painted outside in situ and employed lively brushwork and bright colours to capture the fleeting life and light of modern scenes.."-Dust jacket.
