The Arts Society Pewsey Vale Lecture -Tuesday 5th May

Les Trois Grandes Dames of Impressionism

Sarah Burles

The Impressionists were an innovative and radical group of artists whose work took Paris by storm in the 1870s. Using new colours and techniques, they created paintings of modern life which shocked and horrified the art establishment. From the start the group included women artists but their contribution to Impressionism has often been overshadowed by their male contemporaries. Marie Bracquemond, Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt all exhibited regularly at the Impressionist exhibitions alongside artists such as Monet, Renoir and Degas.

Refreshments available from 2.00pm, lecture begins at 2.30pm. Guests£7.
