Exhibition on Screen

An NCPA-Seventh Art Productions (UK) Presentation

The Impressionists are the most popular group in art history. Millions flock every year to marvel at their masterpieces. But, to begin with, they were scorned, penniless outsiders. It was in 1874 that everything changed; the first Impressionists, “hungry for independence”, broke the mould by holding their own exhibition outside official channels and Impressionism was born.

What led to that first groundbreaking show 150 years ago? Who were the maverick personalities that wielded their brushes in such a radical and provocative way? The spectacular Musée d’Orsay exhibition brings fresh eyes to this extraordinary tale of passion and rebellion. The story is told not by historians and curators but in the words of those who witnessed the dawn of Impressionism: the artists, press and people of Paris in 1874.

Directed by Ali Ray

Made in close collaboration with the Musée d’Orsay and National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
