Impressionism isn’t my favorite school of art (to put it mildly). It is much better in person than as a print, moreso than any other genre of painting, but I’d rather look at original PRB stuff, and all those guys were high and sharing the same hookers.
I agree, even the best lithographs of the Impressionists are worthless. Other than the true Renaissance masterpieces, Impressionism is probably my favorite. Any time I’m in a new city with a decent art museum I find time to go. For whatever the reason, Europeans at the time saw little value in Impressionism, so many of the greatest works are in the US.
