"The Normany coast . has long captured the interest of artists. Its seascapes are featured in the work of Impressionist masters Monet, Manet and Boudin. Its seafaring life is well-documented in the work of writers such as Victor Hugo and Guy de Maupassant. Through a stunning selection of paintings, photographs and drawings, [this work] argues that a unique convergence of forces - social, artistic, technological and commercial - along the Normandy coast impacted the development of early Impressionism and made Normandy a nexus for photographers and the avant-garde painters of the late nineteenth century . The framing dates are 1850, when artists began photographing in Normandy . and 1874, the year in which Claude Monet's painting Impression:Sunrise was exhibited . The Lens of Impressionism explores the dialogue between the two media and the backdrop against which both evolved"--Publisher's description.
