Note:This film retraces the adventure of a group of young painters, who from 1874, launched an aesthetic that broke away from the style of historical paintings displayed in the official salons of the era. Inspired by the Barbizon Realism school of painters such as Corot, Rousseau, Millet and Daubigny, this new generation featured names such as Courbet, Pissaro, Jongkind, Renoir, Bazille, Cézanne, Caillebotte, Berthe Morisot and Claude Monet, their leader. Scandalous Impressionists explains the public's and art critics' mistrust in relation to this "revolutionary" struggle that questionned ways of seeing forms and light. A struggle that finally gained recognition thirty years later, with the support of art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel when major works were displayed in the French national museums. From period documents this rich and well-documented film traces the path of the popular movement that lay at the origins of modern art." -- from the container.
