Description
Impressionist & Post-Impressionist Drawing brings together over two hundred works by twenty artists from this pivotal period in art history. This collection showcases the drawings of Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, Paul Cézanne, Georges Seurat, and many others, highlighting their importance alongside their paintings in representing modernity. In late nineteenth-century France, drawing underwent a significant transformation, with artists embracing new materials and techniques that elevated its status. This book explores this shift, demonstrating how drawings by Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists shared the same stylistic principles as their paintings, including spontaneity, freer handling, and lack of finish. With short introductory essays on twenty leading artists, each accompanied by a portfolio of their drawings, this volume sheds new light on an aspect of French avant-garde art that had a profound impact on the development of modern art.
