The Impressionists – Painting And Revolution: Painting The People Ep 3/4

Saturday 30 July
8.00-9.00pm BBC TWO

Waldemar Januszczak continues his investigation of the Impressionists as part of the BBC's Art Revealed Season, focusing this time on the people they painted, and in particular the subjects of Degas, Caillebotte and the often-forgotten female Impressionist artists. The Impressionists are famous for painting landscapes, but they were just as determined to paint people.

Looking closely at one of Impressionism's finest painters, Edgar Degas, Waldemar reveals how he consistently challenged traditions and strove to record real life as it appeared in the city, from sculpting the contorted movements of horses in motion at the Longchamp race course in Paris to encapsulating extravagant 3D viewpoints of the ballet dancers at the Paris Opera.

Waldemar also uncovers the intoxicating haziness the pastel produced in Degas's work when visiting his supplier Pastels de Roche. He reveals the unusual viewpoints and dramatic perspectives of Caillebotte's paintings from the Place de L'Europe and the rebellious and revolutionary art of Morisot, Bracquemond and Cassatt, three impressive female artists who were eagerly embraced by the progressive movement of Impressionism.
