From the Paper:

"It is impossible to imagine walking into an art gallery today, and not being shown pieces belonging to such breakthrough artists as Claude Monet, August Renoir, or Paul Czanne. The influence that such artists had on their society, their generation, and the many generations to follow is immeasurable. Impressionist painters were seen as rebels, or radical in that they broke many of the rules regarding painting of the time. The fact of the matter is that as the impressionism movement continued, a new class of radicals sprung up, finding alternative methods of painting in direct correlation to a somewhat negative reaction to the constraints of impressionism. From these two revolutionary movements, however, have come some of the finest pieces of artwork, along with the founding fathers of what modern art has evolved into."
