Showing at Firstsite Cinema – Exhibition on Screen: Dawn of Impressionism: Paris 1874 (PG)!

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, until the Dawn of Impressionism: Paris 1874.

1874 was the year that changed everything; the first Impressionists, “hungry for independence”, broke the mould by holding their own exhibition outside official channels.

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, 1874.
