In 1872 Claude Monet painted his "Impression, Sunrise" which inspired the name for the art movement known as Impressionism. The Impressionists were regarded by their contemporary art critics and public as radical lunatics, and their paintings a subject of laughter and scorn. Yet today most people can appreciate and enjoy these paintings as perfectly acceptable, normal, perhaps even boring and old-fashioned. NODAMS will present the outsider refusés of today, despite the risk of turning them into the established old hat of tomorrow!
