Impressionism would not have happened without paint brushes, claims leading art
critic Waldemar Januszczak

Impressionism, the avant garde painting style introduced in France
in the late 19th century, which had a profound effect on the Modernist movement that followed, would not have happened without paint brushes, according to leading art critic Waldemar Januszczak (left).

How Impressionism might have looked

without the use of brushes 

Mr Janzzskkcek makes the startling claim in a new BBC documentary on Impressionism to be aired on the BBC this weekend.

According to Mr Zjanzzuzzsczezk, Impressionism only happened because the Impressionists, as they were known, had access to paint brushes, which allowed them to put paint onto canvases which would otherwise have remained blank. 

"This is a discovery of game-changing importance," said Professor Larry 'GoGo' Gagauguin of the National Gallery of Art in Washington. "We will be looking with fresh eyes at these pictures from now on."

"C'est ridicule, c'est monstreuse! Cet homme Jzanzuszszazkzk est un imbécile," commented Madame Dominic Strauss-Kahnweiler of the Institut des Études Prétencieux in Paris. "Les Impressionistes étais les dieux d'art! Aux armes citoyens! Aux barricades! Vive la guerre!"
