Escape to myself

Emile Zola …. “Art is a corner of creation seen through a temperament”

Impressionist painters excelled at the art of the flaneur; the wanderer through the streets picking out the details of everyday life. The quotidian, the everyday gave inspiration to the creation of a new art celebrating modern life in the city. The Musee d’Orsay illustrated the range of life that captured the artists imagination.
