Gang of Four
Episode 1 of 4
Duration: 1 hour
Art writer Waldemar Januszczak explores the revolutionary achievements of the Impressionists. In the first episode, Waldemar delves into the back stories of four of the most influential Impressionists - Pissarro, Monet, Renoir and Bazille - who together laid the foundations of the artistic movement. He finds out what social and cultural influences drove them to their style of painting, how they were united and how ultimately they challenged and changed art forever.
Waldemar journeys from the shores of the West Indies, to the progressive city of Paris to the suburbs of South London, where these four artists drew inspiration from the cities and towns in which they lived. Whether it be the infamous spot on the river Seine - La Grenouillere - where Monet and Renoir beautifully captured animated people, iridescent light and undulating water or the minimalist, non-sensationalised illustrations of Pissarro's coarse countryside paintings, Waldemar discovers how the Impressionists broke conventions by depicting every day encounters within the unpredictable and ever changing sights around them.

Painting outdoors
Episode 2 of 4
Duration: 1 hour
Waldemar Januszczak continues his investigation of the Impressionists by taking us outdoors to their most famous locations. Although Impressionist pictures often look sunny and relaxed, achieving this peaceful air was hard work. Trudging through fog, wind and rain, across treacherous coastal rocks and knee-deep snow, Waldemar shows how the famous spontaneity of the Impressionists is thoroughly misleading.
This episode visits the French riverside locations that Monet loved to paint, and where Renoir captured the bonhomie of modern life. Waldemar also introduces a number of technical and practical developments of the age which completely revolutionised Impressionist painting - the invention of portable easels; the use of hog's hair in paint brushes; as well as the introduction of the railway through France. And a scientific demonstration in a Swedish snowdrift explains just how right the Impressionists were to paint brightly coloured shadows in their winter scenes, despite being accused of 'hallucinating' at the time.
Finally, Januszczak explains Cezanne's part in the Impressionist story from his dark and challenging early work to his first rural landscapes in France, and then his departure from Paris and separation from the Impressionist gang.

Painting the People
Episode 3 of 4
Duration: 1 hour
Waldemar Januszczak continues his investigation of the Impressionists, focusing this time on the people they painted and in particular the subjects of Degas, Caillebotte and the often forgotten Impressionist women artists. The Impressionists are famous for painting landscape but they were just as determined to paint people.
Looking closely at one of Impressionism's finest painters, Edgar Degas, Waldemar reveals how he consistently challenged traditions and strove to record real life as it appeared in the city, from sculpting the contorted movements of horses in motion at the Longchamp race course in Paris to encapsulating extravagant 3D viewpoints of the ballet dancers at the Paris Opera.
Waldemar also uncovers the intoxicating haziness the pastel produced in Degas' work when visiting his supplier Pastels de Roche. He also reveals the unusual viewpoints and dramatic perspectives of Caillebotte's paintings from the Place de L'Europe and the rebellious and revolutionary art of Morisot, Bracquemond and Cassatt, three impressive female artists who were eagerly embraced by the progressive movement of Impressionism

Final Flourish
Episode 4 of 4
Duration: 1 hour
This episode takes a closer look at the late years of Impressionism, using the last show these artists did together as a starting point.
Waldemar looks in considerable depth at the work of Georges Seurat, taking into consideration his academic training at the Beaux-Arts School in Paris and the artists that influenced him, such as Piero della Francesca and Puvis de Chavannes.
There is also an insight into the complex but fascinating world of optics and art, and the ways in which the Impressionists were using the new discoveries in light and eyesight to influence their work. A fascinating 'after-image' experiment brings to life the ways in which our own eyes see colour, both in its presence and its absence.
Van Gogh's time in Paris, a period very little is known about, is also covered, charting the incredible journey the artist made from his brown and dull canvases to the splendid colour and light that pervaded his work on the cusp of his departure for the South of France.
The film finishes with a revisiting of Monet and his later waterlily paintings in the Orangerie in Paris. Waldemar investigates how a bad case of cataracts was responsible for a seismic shift in his colour palette and his brushstrokes. Spending time with an ophthalmologist, he finds out how old age and a fairly common ailment of the eyes caused Impressionism to shift and become radical again at the turn of the century and into the 20th century

Perspective creates a sense of space, depth, and the third dimension within the limitations of the flat drawing surface. This unusually comprehensive handbook integrates extensive text with hundreds of labeled drawings and diagrams; each page covers a fundamental principle and includes relevant constructions. All aspects of perspective drawing are discussed, from diminution, foreshortening and convergence to distortion, measurement, and shade and shadow effects. Essential concepts such as horizon line, vanishing point, cone of vision, and picture plane are explained theoretically and illustrated in practical contexts, using both mechanical and freehand sketching techniques. With its step–by–step presentation of professional working methods and practices, Perspective Drawing Handbook is an essential text and reference for fine and commercial artists, architects, engineers, and interior and industrial designers. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

夏日的一天，一位优雅的年轻女坐在崎岖的大圆礁石上眺望着大海。她轻轻地拉斜了帽子，以便遮挡住太阳和不让海风吹到脸上。在画面右上方的水平线上，一小团白色的油彩暗示出那是一条孤单的小船。
就如同欧洲的印象主义画派一样，哈萨姆使用色彩的笔触来捕捉光和大气那始终变化的效果。在巴黎学习之后，他回到了美国。在1898年，他加入了“十人会”，这是一个专门探讨印象主义风格的画家小团体。作者有十多年在艾朴里道尔岛避暑，这是一个距离新汉普塞尔澳几英里之外的绍尔群岛中的一个小岛。就在那里，哈萨姆画出了新英格兰一个夏日逼真的一瞥 。

《毕加索的秘密》（Le Mystère Picasso，亨利—乔治·克鲁佐，1956年|80分钟|35毫米|黑白与彩色|有声）以悬疑片的手法记录了西班牙画家毕加索（1881—1973）的一次作画过程。1956年盛夏，在法国南部海滨城市尼斯的一间画室里，面对难耐的酷热及聚光灯的强烈辐射，毕加索兴致昂然地挥笔作画：生动的线条在画纸上迅速游走和变形，一朵花先是变成一条鱼，接着变成一个美人，然后变成一只公鸡，最后变成了牧神。本片导演亨利—乔治·克鲁佐（Henri-Georges Clouzot，1907—1977）以拍摄悬疑片著称（据说希区柯克眼中的竞争对手只有一人，他就是克鲁佐），代表作有《乌鸦》（1943）、《恐惧的代价》（1953）等。克鲁佐在拍摄这部美术纪录片时，放弃了当时流行的传记式或说教式拍摄模式。本片虽然也有很多悬念，但不是故事片常见的戏剧性悬念，而是画家的创作过程本身，千变万化的创作过程给观众带来了扣人心弦的感觉。法国电影理论家安德烈·巴赞从这部影片中看到了电影艺术自身的特质，即只有电影能够在瞬间截获并表现时间的流动（巴赞为本片写作了影评《〈毕加索的秘密〉：一部伯格森式的影片》，见安德烈·巴赞《电影是什么》，中国电影出版社1987年版，第204—214页）。本片以独特的方式记录了毕加索创作20余幅画作的详细过程，观看本片成为近距离接触这位绘画大师的最有效途径。本片拍竣后，毕加索将拍片过程中所画的20余幅画悉数毁弃，因此本片显得更加珍贵。此外，本片摄影师克劳德·雷诺阿是著名画家奥古斯特·雷诺阿的孙子、著名电影导演让·雷诺阿的侄子。本片荣获1956年戛纳电影节评委会大奖。
