Join us in-person at DelArt on September 24 for Paris in Ruins: Love, War and the Birth of Impressionism by Sebastian Smee. In 1870/1871, Paris and its people were besieged, starved and forced into surrender by the Germans. They were then imperiled by a commune established by radical Republicans which was ultimately crushed by the French Army after bloody street battles. Smee tells of the dramatic days through the eyes of the great Impressionists – some trapped in Paris and those outside the city. (Non-fiction)
