Manet, Pissarro, Morisot, Cezanne, Seurat, Gauguin, Van Gogh and
their colleagues made some of the most beautiful drawings in the
history of art. This book sets drawings by the Impressionists and
Post-Impressionists in the context of late nineteenth-century
France and explains why these particular works are as important as
their paintings in the representation of modernity. A new approach
to materials and a wholly inclusive attitude to exhibitions gave
drawings a more elevated status in this period than ever before,
which avant-garde artists welcomed in their preference for scenes
from contemporary life. For the first time also, painting and
drawing shared the same stylistic principles of spontaneity, freer
handling and lack of finish. Pastels by Degas, watercolors by
Cezanne, pen-and-ink drawings by Van Gogh and mixed media works by
Toulouse-Lautrec have an autonomy of their own, which proved
instrumental in the development of modern art. The distinguished
art historian Christopher Lloyd examines the drawings of twenty of
the leading Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists,
highlighting an aspect of French avant-garde art that remains
relatively unexplored and was of immense importance for the art
movements that followed
