New Revised edition. No group of painters or period of art history has inspired as much fascination and admiration, or has been celebrated as the Impressionist school which flourished, centred in France, from 1874-1886. The book tells the story of these revolutionary painters and the dramatic times that shaped their vision. The first section - A History of Impressionism - examines the artistic trends which led away from the classical schools of painting and the French landscape tradition in the early part of the 19th century to the realist art of Courbet and on to the shocking debut of Manet in 1863. The second section - The Life and Works - considers the most important individuals in the history of Impressionism - including Pissarro, Manet, Renoir, Sisley, Bazille, Morisot and Casatt - drawing out from their biographical details the passions that linked them together as a functioning group and that ultimately pulled them apart. **** NOT EX LIB **** **** A LARGE HEAVY VOLUME OF 1.9 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST **** 1.
