| Summary: | On April 15, 1874, the exhibition organized by the "Société Anonyme des Artistes Peintres, Sculpteurs, Graveurs, etc." opened its doors in Paris. Monet, Renoir, Degas, Morisot, Cezanne, Pissarro, and Sisley were among the participants. They painted real life as they perceived it--Parisian women dressed in the latest fashions, the capital city bustling with life, and colorful rural landscapes. This new style of painting was dubbed "impressionist." This publication takes a look at a now-legendary exhibition, long seen as the starting point for avant-garde movements that followed. The volume positions it in the context of its time, considering France's defeat by the Prussians and the upheaval of the Commune in 1871, the reconstruction of Paris, and the domination of the official Salon over the art world.
