Lester’s father had the most influence on him as a musician because his father taught him the love of music by teaching him how to play different instruments.

His reputation is based on only 35 paintings, but during his lifetime he was virtually unknown to the world and was not appreciated to for his works.

This first exhibition was not a great success though, as much of the public did not appreciate the works, known as ‘impressions’, which were not traditionally completed painting. Instead, Renoir and the other impressionists
