Tonight with the Impressionists, Paris 1874, Eclipso Atlanta (Thursdays)

CRITIC’S PICK: Tonight With The Impressionists, Eclipso Atlanta - A virtual reality headset is all you need to get transported back to April 1874 in Paris at the dawn of Impressionism. The first location is a photographer’s studio on the Boulevard Des Capucines where up-and-coming artists - Cézanne, Renoir, Monet, Degas and Pissarro, among others - are gathered to present their latest works. The journey then visits the studio of painter Frédéric Bazille, the island of Grenouillère - where Renoir and Monet collaborated - and Monet’s hometown of Le Havre, where he created the famous painting ‘Impression, Soleil Levant’ that gave rise to the movement’s name. According to the Musée d’Orsay, which provided technical assistance to the Eclipso show, “These escapes will give you a better grasp of the links between the members of the group, the substance of their quest and the importance of the artistic movement they were inventing.” - Kevin C.
