Join artist Richard Gunning as he takes you on an exhilarating journey through the beginnings of Modern Art. Mass production, transportation and communications transformed people's lives in nineteenth century Paris, however this was barely reflected in the official art of the Salon, which steadfastly upheld traditional themes and techniques. The birth of Modernism is the story of how artists rebelled against the Salon to create art that embraced the new, creating a legacy that still informs the art of today.
