Celebrations of city streets; tranquil vistas of the countryside
and seashore; enchanting images of the leisured classes in domestic
interiors or at fashionable Parisian cafes -- the work of the
Impressionists gives pleasure to art lovers everywhere. But while
Impressionism today may appear 'natural' and effortless,
contemporaries were shocked by the loose handling of paint and the
practice of painting out-of doors. In defiance of the conservative
official Salon, the Impressionists -- led by Edouard Manet, Claude
Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Edgar Degas -- sought to capture
the immediacy of experience.
This fascinating, comprehensive study brings together the most
recent research on Impressionism. James Rubin makes accessible its
philosophical, political and social context. As well as the
acknowledged masters, our attention is drawn to lesser known
Impressionists such as Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt and Gustave
Caillebotte.
