New Visions: Paris and Impressionism
About
Presented by Joanne Rhymer (UK)During Napoleon III’s reign (1852–1870), Paris underwent an extraordinary transformation under Baron Haussmann’s direction. Several medieval neighborhoods were cleared, making way for wide boulevards, elegant apartment blocks, parks, and monumental public buildings that reshaped the city’s landscape and social fabric. This dynamic environment inspired the Impressionists, who were keen to capture the fleeting sensations of the modern capital. Discover how the radical techniques of artists like Manet, Renoir, and Caillebotte, along with a special focus on the women artists Morisot, Valadon, and Cassatt, reflect the attractions and complexities of modern Parisian society.
An additional workshop, How To Look Slowly: Impressionism and Post Impressionism will be held on Sunday 24 May in conjunction with YAM.
