For more than 40 years, between 1863 and 1905, the careers of many singular and innovative artists took place. Whether they were called Manet, Degas or Monet, Renoir, Cézanne or Pissarro, whether they were Gauguin or Seurat, Van Gogh or Toulouse-Lautrec, they all aspired to independence and affirmed new ways of painting. If some were called Impressionists in derision, others accompanied, followed or surpassed them.
How can we trace their history as closely as possible? By following them year after year, by following them in their daily life, in their time: studying in workshops, meeting in cafes, curating exhibitions. A lively, abundant and richly illustrated tale, based on the letters of the artists to whom it gives a voice.
