Turner, Whistler, Monet

by Tamsin Pickeral

Turner, Whistler, Monet provides a fascinating portrait of three artists who broke away from artistic tradition to embrace an entirely new way of painting. This book uncovers their legacy at its glorious best: the revolutionary depiction of light and shade, and how it was possible to capture the essence of a place on canvas.
