Taking as his context the Paris Salons - 'the central forum for the display of contemporary art in Paris, and the focus for discussions of the state of modern art' - John House explains how the Impressionist landscapes exhibited there both reflected, and forever changed, the cultural tastes of the age." - Publisher.
