"Impressionism's rom-com arc from spirited rejection to public rapture informs our fondness for the pictures, and has also provided a lasting model for avant-gardism as a mechanism of cultural change."
"In 1874, the first Impressionist exhibition was derided in the press as a 'vexatious mystification for the public,' highlighting the initial lack of appreciation for these artists."
