Manet, Monet, Pissarro, Cezanne, Renoir, Degas, Sisley, Berthe
Morisot and Mary Cassatt. Though they were often ridiculed or
ignored by their contemporaries, astonishing sums are paid today
for the works of these artists. Their dazzling pictures are
familiar - but how well does the world know the Impressionists as
people? In a vivid and moving narrative, biographer Sue Roe shows
the Impressionists in the studios of Paris, rural lanes of
Montmartre and rowdy riverside bars as Paris underwent Baron
Haussman's spectacular transformation. For over twenty years they
lived and worked together as a group, struggling to rebuild their
lives after the Franco-Prussian war and supporting one another
through shocked public reactions to unfamiliar canvasses depicting
laundresses, dancers, spring blossom and boating scenes. This
intimate, colourful, superbly researched account takes us into
their homes as well as their studios and describes their
unconventional, volatile and precarious lives, as well as the
stories behind their paintings.
