The Private Lives of the Impressionists by Sue Roe Discover the fascinating story behind the works of Manet, Monet, Pissarro, Cezanne, Renoir, Degas, Sisley, Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt. This vivid narrative reveals the lives of these artists as people, not just their paintings. Living and working together in Paris for over twenty years, the Impressionists struggled to rebuild their lives after the Franco-Prussian war and navigate the public's reaction to their unconventional canvases.

With superb research and a moving narrative, this book offers an intimate look at the Impressionists' lives, revealing the people behind the art.
