Traces the history of the movement that reflected the change in thinking during the Nineteenth Century. Read how it evolved through the change in perceptions by breakthrough artists who then influenced other to think differently. All were masters of art. All had great talent. None were frauds as in today's critically acclaimed Op and Pop Art, and drivel perpetrated by the likes of the late Jackson Pollock.

By no means an in depth book, but it did run an enjoyable line between history of the Impressionists, of Impressionism, and their paintings. Goes a little more into the "pre-history" than most non scholarly works, and I appreciated that.

I think I got this one from the dump trailer. Big old coffee table book.

Not a book about Impressionism that can’t be borrowed from a library later

I picked up this book because the cover caught my eye. I also didn’t know a lot about impressionists before reading this. This book taught me about the early impressionism artworks and the history around them. The pictures of the paintings in the book are why I recommend somebody pick up this book. It also gave me the itch to do impression art myself.
