Beyond the Frame
by Ampel / HSBC
HSBC proudly presents “Beyond the Frame” a look behind the bigger picture of some of the world’s most important Impressionist art. In this season we’re looking at the rebellion of the French Impressionists – it wasn’t all dreamy brushwork, but a movement that was rife with bravery, breaking stereotypes and smashing perceptions. Across this series we go back 150 years to discover some of the surprising stories behind 6 iconic impressionist artworks, -- one painting per episode. Warning: this isn’t your usual art history series. You’d expect we’d do a podcast with a gallery representative, a curator, a professor in art. You’d expect. But on Beyond the Frame, we are moving past that into the artwork itself to give you a better impression of the work of these famed French artists. We're lucky enough to be joined by some of the most famous subjects in art history - Boot from Mary Ellen in a White Coat by Mary Cassatt, the Road in Turn in the Road by Paul Cezanne -- hear from the artwork

Turn In the Road, Paul Cezanne (1881-1882)
