"The EY Exhibition: Impressionists in London: French Artists in Exile charts the story of the French artists who took refuge in London during and after the devastating Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune. Following these traumatic events there was a creative flourish in London as the exiles responded to British culture and social life -- regattas, processions, parks, and of course the Thames. The book contains texts from a range of leading writers, drawing out key figures and events from this remarkable period to reveal the artists' connections with patrons, art dealers and British artists. It looks in detail at the contribution they made to British art and art education, as well as the impact their cross-Channel experiences had on French art. "--
