Most efforts have been concentrated on developing
materials related to
Impressionism.
The Impressionists are unrivalled in their popular appeal
and their paintings are among the best loved in the world.
Drawn together by a common desire to bring a new kind of
realism to painting, they astonished their contemporaries
with their revolutionary treatment of colour and light.
Sunlight and dappled water, the evanescent atmosphere
of outdoor scenes and fleeting moments in everyday life
characterize their work at its most delightful.
