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

  1. Dance at Bougival, Pierre Auguste Renoir (1883)

    Pierre Auguste Renoir was a tale of rags to riches, and his modest beginnings could be the catalyst behind his success.

  2. Ellen Mary in a White Coat, Mary Cassatt (1896)

    Mary Cassatt walked into an artistic rebellion and became one of the three great ladies ‘Les Trois grandes dammes’ of the Impressionist movement. She made such an impact on the movement, that her work was described at the time as ‘as good as a man’s.’ Which is a reminder of the difficulty female...

  3. Fruit Displayed on a Stand, Gustave Caillbotte (1872)

    Apple, with many other fruits at a market stall, from Gustave Caillebotte’s Fruit Displayed on a Stand was the inspiration for a truly impressionist notion, why not paint a still life of something you would paint indoors, outdoors? And rather than paint the outdoor scenario, it’s the inside of…

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

    Paul Cezanne was an artist who often took the road less travelled, turning his back on the artistic norms of the time, and instead, shifted his gaze and brush to peculiar vantage points of his muse. Cezanne’s Turn in the Road wasn’t the turn in his career that he may have hoped, the artistic…

  5. Racehorses at Longchamp, Edgar Degas (1871)

    Edgar Degas was one of the founding members of impressionism, He hated the term “impressionism” and didn’t want a label. All his paintings were created from memory and imagination – he loved to say that “no art can be less spontaneous than mine.” Racehorses at Longchamp - a painting of jockeys on...

  6. Grainstack (snow effect), Claude Monet (1891)

    Claude Monet got into repetition in a big way. Toward the end of the 1800s, he painted a series of 15 "grainstacks". Enormous stacks of hay, wheat, barley or anything else that was growing within walking distance of Monet's house. An act of creative freedom that turned Monet into a prolific…
