Impressionism with Florian Illies and Ortrud Westheider
Ortrud Westheider, director of the Museum Barberini, in conversation with Florian Illies, journalist and author
Can Impressionism be explained in ten pictures? Ortrud Westheider and Florian Illies try.
Their conversation about 10 paintings from the Hasso Plattner Collection follows the artists of the circle of friends through six decades and traces their development into the 20th century. It leads from the coasts of Normandy via Paris to the South of France and asks about the political, natural and humanistic inspirations of their painting.
