Desc: The Rise and Fall of Impressionism: With Perry Wolff, Michael Daly, Louis Meredith, Connor Smith. Producer and writer Peter Wolff talks of Impressionism as an art movement that captured a place in time, a portrait of life as seen through the eyes of some of the world's most renowned artists. Claude Monet described it in much simpler terms. "One day, Renoir and I ran out of black paint and that's how Impressionism was born."
