First published in 1880, same year as Edgar Degas' "The Dancing
Lesson and Edouard Manet's solo show, these "Parisian Sketches
share the Impressionist fascination with the contemporary life of
Paris, the exuberant Paris of the Opera Garnier and the
Folies-Bergers. Like the striking images of the early
Impressionists, "Parisian Sketches is an assault on the visual
senses. Composed of a series of intense, meticulously observed
literary impressions--of cafe concerts and circus performers, of
streetwalkers and hot-chestnut sellers, of forgotten quarters in
the grimy, shiny 'City of Light'--"Parisian Sketches recreates
Paris with an intimacy and immediacy that confirms Huysmans as one
of the masters of 19th century French prose.
