Descriptive tour of Impressions of Paris: Lautrec, Daumier, Degas

Impressions of Paris: Lautrec, Degas, Daumier examines the major contribution
to French art made by
three key figures: Honoré-Victorin Daumier (1808–1879), Edgar Degas (1834–1917)
and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901).
A generation apart, each was a consummate draughtsman whose innovative
compositions and embrace of
modern subject matter played a significant role in artistic developments in
France over the nineteenth century.
