It was a dappled and daubed harbor scene that gave Impressionism
its name. When Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet was exhibited in
April 1874, critics seized upon the work's title and its loose
stylistic rendering of light and motion upon water to deride this
new, impressionistic tendency in art. As with many seminal art
movements, the critics got their comeuppance. Today, Impressionism
is close contender for the world's favorite period of painting.
With blockbuster exhibitions, record-breaking auction prices, and
packed museums, the works once dismissed as unfinished or imprecise
are now beloved for their atmospheric evocation of time and place,
as well as the stylistic flair of rapid brushstrokes upon canvas.
Despite its popularity and a whole host of publications, many areas
and artists of Impressionism remain inadequately researched. This
TASCHEN book fills the gap, raising the profile of unjustly
neglected pioneers such as Berthe Morisot, Lucien Pissarro, and
Gustave Caillebotte, while exploring the characteristics of
Impressionism, from painting en plein air to vivid color contrasts,
not only in the movement's native France but also across the rest
of Europe and North America. About the series Bibliotheca
Universalis - Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic
TASCHEN universe!
