Art Review - Artist in Retreat - ‘Late Renoir’ in Philadelphia - NYTimes.com

Art Review - Artist in Retreat - ‘Late Renoir’ in Philadelphia - NYTimes.com: "It came to be called Impressionism, and it rejected much of what the establishment stood for: traditional craft, a fixed course of training, aesthetic decorum. The new art favored brushy color over draftsmanly line, scenes of contemporary life over historical and mythological themes. Out went Arcadian nymphs, in came modern women in store-bought hats."
