Good News, Inspiring, Positive Stories

151 years ago today, a team of like-minded artists put on Paris' First Impressionist Exhibition. Rejected by the Paris Salon, the artists took their work to No.35 Boulevard des Capucines, the studio of the famous photographer Nadar. Once there, an art critic and satirist called it the "Impressionist Exhibition" leading to the birth of the movement's name, and fame. Led by the sagely Camille Pissarro, the exhibitors included Renoir, Monet, Manet, Degas, and others. SEE the exhibition's works... (1874)
