Discover how scenes from everyday life rendered with delicate splashes of color shook the foundations of art. In this seminal book on Impressionism , we explore the artists, subjects, and techniques that took the easel out of the studio and diverted attention from history, religion, or portraiture to the ephemeral drift of modern life.
On our tour of Paris's theatres, bars, and parks, among other places, we behold the movement's radical innovations in style and subject matter , from painting en plein-air to the quick, jerky brushstrokes that allowed the Impressionists to bring out the spontaneity, movement and the changing nature of light. We carefully studied his new and unusual perspectives and his fresh palette of pure colors , without mixing, with bright and vivid tones that brought a totally new chromatic intensity to the canvases.
In this monograph we can find established masters of impressionism such as Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot and Camille Pissarro , as well as numerous artists related to the movement who deserve special attention, such as Marie Bracquemond, Medardo Rosso or Fritz von Uhde .
