Discover how scenes of daily life and delicate dabs of color
shocked the art world establishment. In this TASCHEN Basic Art
introduction to Impressionism, we explore the artists, subjects,
and techniques that first brought the easel out of the studio and
shifted artistic attention from history, religion, or portraiture
to the evanescent ebb and flow of modern life. As we tour the
theaters, bars, and parks of Paris and beyond, we take in the
movement's radical innovations in style and subject, from the
principle of plein air painting to the rapid, broken brushwork that
allowed the Impressionists to emphasize spontaneity, movement, and
the changing qualities of light. We take a close look at their
unusual new perspectives and their fresh palette of pure, unblended
colors, including many vividly bright shades that brought a whole
new level of chromatic intensity to the canvas. Along the way, we
recognize Impressionism's established greats, such as Edgar Degas,
Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, and Camille Pissarro, as well as many
associated artists worthy of closer attention, including Marie
Bracquemond, Medardo Rosso, and Fritz von Uhde. About the series
