The word impressionist is a description for any sketchy, colourful style of painting, yet the Impressionist movement - with artists such as Monet, Renoir and Manet - was a precise period in art history.

In his illustrated talk, Philip will address Impressionism with a capital 'I', when the movement began and why, and also when and why it ended.

Attendance is £1 for Dunmow Art Group members and £5 for non-members.
