Inhaltsangabe

In 1874, a French satirical magazine ran a mocking headline: “Exhibition of the Impressionists.” The article described a bewildered exhibition-goer wiping his spectacles, thinking they are smudged, before exclaiming, in front of Camille Pissarro’s Hoarfrost (1873), “What on earth is that?” Claude Monet had included an on-the-spot study in the exhibition and called it Impression, Sunrise (1872). A few days later, a sympathetic critic explained, “they are impressionists in the sense that they render not the landscapes but their sensation of the landscape.” By 1877, the group had adopted the name, which is now, of course, world-renowned. This refreshingly accessible introduction to some of the best-known and best-loved impressionists includes Monet, Pissaro, Sisley, and Tissot, among others.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

A lively and accessible introduction to the life and work of some of the best-known and best-loved Impressionists. In the 1870s France was devastated by the Franco-Prussian war, and violent insurrection in Paris drove numerous Impressionist artists to seek refuge in England. Their experiences in London and the friendships that developed not only influenced their own work, but also contributed to the British art scene. Part of the Tate Introduction series, this book offers a concise and engaging account of some of the best-known and best-loved impressionists’ lives, works and the ongoing debates concerning their significance.
