Description

The Impressionists: A Refreshing Introduction to Art's Finest. In 1874, a French satirical magazine ran a mocking headline that would change art history. "Exhibition of the Impressionists" was the title, and it reflected the confusion among exhibition-goers. Claude Monet had included an on-the-spot study in the exhibition, which he called Impression, Sunrise (1872). A few days later, a sympathetic critic explained the group's unique approach: they didn't just render landscapes, but their sensation of them. By 1877, the term "Impressionist" was adopted by the group. This book brings together some of the best-known and best-loved Impressionists, including Monet, Camille Pissarro, Sisley, and Tissot. With this introduction to their lives and work, you'll gain a deeper understanding of art's most celebrated movement. With 80 pages of high-quality images and concise text, this book is an ideal choice for anyone looking to explore the world of Impressionism.
