Eugene Buodin: the First Impressionist January 29, 2008

The 49 works in the exhibition include small-scale paintings of tourists at fashionable Normandy resorts, works with which Boudin made his reputation. The hoopskirts, parasols and crinolines of fashionable ladies on beaches and promenades are painted with charm, yet also with a degree of ironic detachment. They range from oil sketches and watercolors to highly finished exhibition pictures.
