France

Great choice!
Now that you know all sorts of things about France, you must
now focus your efforts on 20th Century styles of art within France.

Samual knows that France had several distinct movements
in art throughout the 20th Century.
Two of the largest and most recognizable movements in France
were that of Impressionism and Surrealism.

France was not the only country to produce works in these styles,
but they did have a large amount of artists that were very
influential in each movement.

Again, you must help Samual learn all about
French Impressionism and Surrealism.
Pay close attention to what makes each style unique.
