Description
Discover how Impressionism revolutionized the art world with its bold new approach to capturing modern life. This TASCHEN Basic Art introduction explores the artists and techniques that brought fresh perspectives and vibrant colors to the canvas, shifting artistic attention from traditional subjects to the everyday scenes of Paris and beyond. The movement's radical innovations in style and subject are revealed through a close examination of the works of its greats, including Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, and Camille Pissarro, as well as lesser-known artists such as Marie Bracquemond, Medardo Rosso, and Fritz von Uhde. The book delves into the movement's key principles, from plein air painting to rapid, broken brushwork, which allowed for a new level of spontaneity and light capture. 96 pages of high-quality images showcase the Impressionist masters' unique styles and techniques, providing a comprehensive overview of this pivotal art movement.
