The six programs in this collection from Kultur Films provide an in-depth look into the fascinating world of the Impressionists and their art. The programs place each artist in historical context, highlighting the events that inspired their work.

Renoir — Pierre-Auguste Renoir was a comfortable, loving family man who depicted happiness and colorful beauty in his work. This DVD profiles the life and paintings of the artist who was one of the pioneers and stalwarts of what came to be labeled "impressionism." When first unveiled, the work of the Impressionists shocked the art world, which initially refused to accept the style as high art. This program discusses how Renoir’s now-famous painting, Le Moulin de la Galette (1876), shook up the art establishment with its dappled lighting technique.
