Considering the enormous popularity Impressionist art enjoys today, and the major influence it's had on subsequent artistic movements, it's hard to imagine a time when it was looked upon with almost universal disdain. But it was indeed so when an early group of French Impressionists held their first independent show in 1874. Critics, appalled at the short, spontaneous brush strokes and bright colors, called Monet, Pissaro, Renoir, and Degas "lunatics." Thankfully these masters pushed forward and stood firm behind their works. Those who love the Impressionists are sure to enjoy this striking calendar.
