Impressionism continues to be one of the most fascinating movements
in the history of modern art. It is also the most popular with the
general public. Proof of this has been provided in recent years by
blockbuster exhibitions of the works of Degas, Gauguin, van Gogh,
Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Monet, and by record sums realized
from the sale of Impressionist paintings. Despite its popularity
and a whole host of publications-the majority of them about the
most famous names-many areas of Impressionism are still
under-researched. Many "second-rank" Impressionists have remained
unknown or have sunk into oblivion. This monograph fills the gap,
as it explores French Impressionism alongside related art movements
that flourished simultaneously in the rest of Europe and in North
America. Part 1 deals with Impressionism in France, including Post-
and Neo-Impressionism. As well as discussing the most renowned
artists, its aim is to introduce others who are still little-known
today. Among them are the long underrated Gustave Caillebotte,
represented by 17 paintings, and artists such as Frederic Bazille,
Marie Bracquemond, Henri-Edmond Cross, Jean-Louis Forain, Eva
Gonzales, Armand Guillaumin, Albert Lebourg, Stanislas Lepine,
Maximilien Luce, Berthe Morisot, Lucien Pissarro, Jean-Francois
Raffaelli, Henri Rouart, and Victor Vignon. The eight chapters of
part 2 focus on paintings inspired by French Impressionism and
produced in parallel in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany,
Scandinavia, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, Italy, Spain, Great
Britain, the USA and Canada. Rarely did painters in these countries
slavishly copy the ideas emerging from France. Instead, most
non-French artists found astonishingly original ways of translating
them into the artistic language of their native lands.
