Impressionism vibrates with its virgin vision, its new colour palettes, its mental autonomy, unbound by any intellectual or cultural ties. This step would lead the world towards Modern Art, right up to the greatest painter of the 20th century: Pablo Picasso.

A film will be shown in one of the rooms at the Hôtel de Lagoy.
