Most people who enjoy fine art are well aware of the Impressionist painters - Monet, Renoir, Manet, Pisarro, etc. Their work was noted for its emphasis on light and composition, utilizing reduced focus and/or pronounced brush strokes to achieve a blurring effect or slight 'disintegration' of the image. In a sense, the image looks somewhat unfinished, incomplete, or out of focus. Since the advent of cameras, photographers have achieved similar results using elements in the environment, technical capabilities of cameras, lenses and filters, process embellishment, and more recently, digital embellishment using computer software. This book has collected the work of eight leading photo impressionists, currently working in this genre.

Author T K McCoy connects the fringe Impressionist movement of the 19th century with digital fine artists of the current century. The photo-based digital images of Lawrence von Knorr are explored as examples of contemporary Impressionist works. This book is full-color and contains 88 prints of von Knorr's work. Digital artists, art historians, curators and lovers of art will find the work in this volume fascinating, and will certainly agree there is merit to contemporary digital fine art.
