The Impressionists have become the international superstars of Western painting. The works of Manet, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Cezanne and the great successors of Impressionism like Gauguin and Van Gogh appear everywhere and are well loved by the public and academics alike. In addition to their popularity and accessibility, for their time impressionist paintings were radical works of art, which instigated a revolution in the art world. The Impressionists broke away from traditional, academic art in their technique - by using touches of color to capture movement and light and in their subject matter, depicting ordinary people at work and leisure in Paris and on the banks of the Seine. In this series, "The Impressionists with Tim Marlow", we are reacquainted with the artists - their motivations and loves, triumphs and disappointments and with their work. Marlow takes us on a journey through late nineteenth-century France and he invites us to immerse ourselves in the greatest impressionist works of art.

2010-02-03 Curled Up With a Good DVD
By Sonia R. Polinsky
This series of eight programs focuses on the biographies of Impressionist artists Manet, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Cézanne, Gauguin, and Van Gogh. Tim Marlow takes viewers on an educational tour through the life and works of a single artist in the span of a given episode. Watching the series in its intended order, viewers are able to follow the overlapping lives and time periods many of these artists shared. The influences and divergences among the artists are a topic of continued interest throughout the series.
The artists’ lives are well-researched, giving viewers tremendous insight into the mental, emotional, social, and personal influences on each artist’s work and growth over time. While most of the artists never really achieved notoriety or greatness until after their deaths, a few managed to find financial and career-oriented success in life. The birth of the Impressionist era, for all the greatness it produced, was fairly short-lived; many still favored the previous era’s style and methods.
In addition to the biographies of the debuting impressionist artists is a well-scripted educational journey through the art revolution that led to the Impressionist style. With a central force in the art community dictating style, technique, and tastes for artists, too many great artists were dismissed from favor for their lack of conformity to the favored art of the time; these eight Impressionists blossomed quietly behind the scenes before launching their art and newfound style with significant success into the world.
As a series narrator and host discussing the complex world of art and artists for both the unfamiliar and the educated in the fields, Tim Marlow is a marvel with a light and easily understood presentation of art history. His passion and knowledge for the subject facilitates greater insights and enthusiasm.
This particular DVD, The Impressionists with Tim Marlow: The Collection, bundles the eight-program series on the Impressionists and runs a total of 192 minutes (each episode is 24 minutes long); individual shows/artists are available for purchase separately at www.seventh-art.com. These informative, beautifully produced films are a valuable resource for educational settings and home viewing.

The Impressionists with Tim Marlow features the entire eight-episode series originally broadcast on the UK's Channel Five. Each half-hour episode is dedicated to a different seminal Impressionist artist - Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, Degas, Cézanne, Gauguin - with attention equally divided between the importance of the man and the art such that in the end the two become indistinguishable parts of a greater whole, and the whole of Impressionism all the more remarkable for their efforts.
