Using colour as the lens through which to offer a new perspective on Impressionism, this catalogue sweeps us from Manet's rich blacks, through the green and blue landscapes of Monet and Cezanne, to the sensuous pinks of late Renoir. Along this journey, scientific discoveries and emerging de nitions of modernity are explored, illuminating the radical innovations of the Impressionists and shifting preconceptions of their art.
