Description

The Impressionists at First Hand A unique glimpse into the lives of the artists who revolutionized modern art. This collection of letters, critical reviews, and reminiscences offers a fascinating insight into the world of Impressionism, with its innovative techniques and groundbreaking ideas. Through the eyes of the artists themselves and their contemporaries, the story of this pivotal art movement comes alive. The Impressionists - Monet, Manet, Degas, Morisot, Pissarro, Renoir, Sisley, and others - share their thoughts, opinions, and experiences in a way that reveals the era's spirit of innovation and change. From the emergence of photography to the rise of modern ideas about perception, this was an age of great artistic and cultural transformation. This revised edition features full colour reproductions of the artworks mentioned, and includes an updated bibliography for further reading.
