The term ‘Impressionist’ was initially a criticism that became an accurate description for the unique attraction of the Impressionist group of artist’s work. It was precisely the artist’s personal, visual impression of contemporary France that they sought to communicate; they wanted to express the reality of modern life, within the contemporary landscape.

This painting depicts the well-known view of Park Avenue in New York in a beautiful impressionistic manner. The larger building is currently the Met Life building but at the time this painting was created, it was the Pan Am building. The building was completed in 1963 so during this painting, it would have still been under construction. It’s a real New York Landmark. The painting is filled with tones of grey and brushes of white to demonstrate the scene filled with snow in the heart of winter.

Additionally, he has delicately rendered her up to date makeup and hairstyle by judicious application of colour. Paul César Helleu has created an exquisite drawing of a society lady; his trademark.

We can see this in the painting Reflections, as he reflects the light off the water of a river, with subtle harmonies of ochre and green tones. -
