Fascinating 100 year old film clips of four of the world’s most celebrated artists: a 74-year-old Claude Monet painting at Giverny in 1915; Pierre-Auguste Renoir, (also aged 74 in 1915) at his easel with his son; three sequences of Auguste Rodin at 75 and an 81 year old Edgar Degas strolling through Paris two years before his death.

Like how Renoir took a break from smoking his fag to execute a couple of genius brush strokes.
Love the way he seems to have a designated fag bringer and another separate designated fag lighter.
Rodin is a dead ringer for a bearded and bereted Michael McElhatton! Rats from Le Flats.
Gutted that no one has chimed in about how astute my Rodin-is-McElhatton observation was. So when I cash a fat cheque from a big Hollywood production company for the biopic that develops from this idea, I won’t be buying you ice creams! Too late! Set the passive aggression to warp speed, Worf!
