Art has long been recognized as an important part of a well rounded education but when it comes down to setting budget priorities,the arts rarely rise to the top
it started in the 1860s when Monet and some artists painted stuff and their paintings featured the absence of idealism. yeah I know the explanation is umph but its definitely Claude Monet. Pierre Renoir and Edgar Degas where two popular impressionist painters and also started the movement but Claude Monet is pretty much the forefront for it.
