SUMMARY:Art History Talk - The Birth of Impressionism and the Art of Modern Life
DESCRIPTION:What did it mean to paint modern life in 19th century Paris? \nIn the wake of political upheaval and radical urban transformation\, a group of young artists began to turn away from history painting and idealised myth. Instead\, they looked at the world around them—capturing fleeting moments in cafés\, on the streets\, at the theatre and in the countryside. \nBaron Haussmann’s dramatic redesign of Paris created sweeping boulevards\, public parks and new vantage points—spaces that became central to the Impressionist gaze. \nInspired by Charles Baudelaire’s call for a painter of modern life\, artists such as Claude Monet\, Edgar Degas and Gustave Caillebotte set out to reflect the pace\, spectacle and anonymity of the modern city. \nThis talk explores the birth of Impressionism and its focus on modern life. \nWhy was this work so controversial? And what exactly made it so modern?\n \nFollowing the talk\, please stay for tea and cake\, served in the Pavilion’s beautiful Gallery.
