Description

Impressionism: 1860-1920 by Ingo F. Walther provides an in-depth exploration of this pivotal art movement. The title "Impression" was actually coined by critics who ridiculed the loose, expressive style of Claude Monet's painting, Impression, Sunrise, exhibited in 1874. Today, Impressionism is celebrated for its captivating portrayal of light and atmosphere, with rapid brushstrokes creating vivid color contrasts that evoke a sense of time and place. This TASCHEN book sheds new light on the movement's pioneers, including Berthe Morisot, Lucien Pissarro, and Gustave Caillebotte, while examining the techniques and characteristics that defined Impressionism in France and beyond. From painting en plein air to its influence across Europe and North America, this comprehensive study offers a fresh perspective on a beloved art movement.
