synopsis |
Fighting the system and at times each other, a few stout individuals
broke all the rules and changed forever how modern man would
look at art. From the rigid conformity of the Paris Salon to the
exhilaration and freedom of their first independent show, the story
of these artists is one filled with human drama. Great loss and remarkable
triumph all play a part in the birth of what would
become known as Impressionism. |

reviews |
"Damned entertaining theatre."

into flawed human beings awash in dreams and failures."
