There`s one painting that historically would have been better, ... because it was painted at the beginning of the Impressionist movement, and the one we`re using is painted later. In the script they say, `This is a very important painting because it was painted at start of the Impressionists,` and that`s not really true. It was painted a few years later. But they selected the painting for purely visual reasons -- that they would capture better on camera, that it was more appealing, that it would catch the eye better.
- Christopher MooreIf the technical innovations of the Impressionists led merely to a more accurate representation of nature, it was perhaps of not much value in enlarging their powers of expression.
- Edward Hopperloves the idea of kids going to see rock `n` roll icons and seeing the Impressionists, maybe for the first time. We`ve done such a slick job of eliminating the arts from the schools that Allen`s effort is especially important.
