Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida:
Do you see the movement in the crowd? This would not and could not look more convincing if every person were painted very slowly and very well. Another thing this work does is represent color quite well. This is the beauty of working from life generally - all impressionist must do this to be true to the term.
Sargent, Sorolla, Zorn and the "Boston painters" did this well. Some of us feel that as the French founding members went off ever striving for their own identity distinct from one another they moved further from the very tenants that gave power to their movement. So, we see some of the best examples of Impressionism in other countries a few years later.
