London Art Studies In Focus: Degas, Morisot, Pissarro
About
Everyone can certainly name their favourite Impressionist artist, but their current popularity bllinds us to their early struggles, as a group of disparate artists exhibiting together. The National Gallery's current exhibition 'inventing impressionism' focuses on the work of their most influential dealer - Paul Durand-Ruel, and includes 70 of the works he owned from this group. We will be examining why Degas' work was so different compared to the other artists in the group, particularly Monet and Renoir.
London Art Studies will also be exploring the work of Berthe Morisot, whose paintings beautifully display the interests of the era. We will end with a look at the one artist who exhibited at all eight of the Impressionist exhibitions: Camille Pissarro. Few would know now that Pissarro, as one of the most committed and consistent of all these "young rebels", would be the one most in touch and would be the one to introduce the next generation of younger artists to the group.
This lecture is designed to appeal to both curious beginners and more knowledgeable art-lovers. London Art Studies' events are 'spas for the mind' - a wonderful way to switch off, learn and socialise.

The work is Seurat's most famous of Seurat'e oeuvre. It is also enormous, measuring over x centimetres.
Its full name is A Sunday Afternoon of the Island of La Grande Jatte (Un dimanche après-midi à l'Île de la Grande Jatte). It is now found in the Chicago Institute of Art
Reaction to La Grande Jatte
As the Impressionists had experienced many years before, Seurat’s Pointillist work was met with
“boisterous laughter, exaggerated in the hope of giving as much pain as possible.”
One of the aspects that caused much amusement was Seurat’s inclusion of a woman holding a monkey on a leash. Though they were displayed in a narrow back room, visitors pressed forward to see the paintings.
Years later, Signac described how an old friend of Édouard Manet, Alfred Émile Stevens
“continually shuttled back and forth between the Maison Dorée and and the neighbouring Café Tortoni to recruit those of his cronies who were sipping on the famous terrace,
