20th Century, 1862-1918: Once in a great while an artist steps on to the scene that challenges the status quo and changes the way we look at art forever. At the dawning of the 20th century, France saw several of these individuals.

In the world of music, Claude Debussy stands as that pivotal figure whose works ushered in new sounds and ideas.
