In his series entitled The Impressionists’ Salon photographer Neil Folberg recreates the works of Renoir and other impressionists but instead of painting Renoir’s The Luncheon of the Boating Party or Monet’s Water-Lily Pond he photographs them and where relevant using everyday people which, according to Sabine Moder from Art MoCo has included Morisot’s great-granddaughter to pose for a portrait, much the same way Morisot did for Manet. Seeing some of the great impressionists work through the lens of a camera is at once familiar and yet strange.
