The Impressionists Monet, Manet, Degas, Morisot, Pissarro, Renoir,
Sisley and others are probably the most popular of all artistic
schools. Their struggle to impose a new vision is one of the most
absorbing in the whole history of art. With imagination and insight,
art historian Bernard Denvir brings Impressionism into focus by
showing it through the eyes of the artists themselves and their
contemporaries, against the background of the time. Through letters,
critical reviews, statements and reminiscences whether explosive or
appreciative, blinkered or perceptive of the people who were there,
the story of this ground-breaking art movement comes alive. This was
the age of innovation, political liberalization, emergent photography
and modern ideas about perception. The Impressionists had new ways of
painting, but they also had a new world to paint. This revised edition
now features full colour reproductions of art throughout and an
updated bibliography.
