The 21st century's first major academic reassessment of
Impressionism, providing a new generation of scholars with a
comprehensive view of critical conversations Presenting an
expansive view of the study of Impressionism, this extraordinary
volume breaks new thematic ground while also reconsidering
established questions surrounding the definition, chronology, and
membership of the Impressionist movement. In 34 original essays
from established and emerging scholars, this collection considers a
diverse range of developing topics and offers new critical
approaches to the interpretation of Impressionist art. Focusing on
the 1860s to 1890s, this Companion explores artists who are
well-represented in Impressionist studies, including Monet, Renoir,
Degas, and Cassatt, as well as Morisot, Caillebotte, Bazille, and
other significant yet lesser-known artists. The essays cover a wide
variety of methodologies in addressing such topics as
Impressionism's global predominance at the turn of the 20th
century, the relationship between Impressionism and the emergence
of new media, the materials and techniques of the Impressionists,
and the movement's exhibition and reception history. Part of the
acclaimed Wiley Blackwell Companions to Art History series, this
