Essential ImpressionistsThe Impressionists changed the face of nineteenth-century painting radically with their interest in capturing a fleeting moment on canvas and working outdoors instead of relying on memory and models in their studio. Essential Impressionists looks in detail at all aspects of the work of the movement, with detailed commentary on 120 of their works and additional imagery to highlight comparisons and contrasts in their style. Some of these works are considered their most important pieces; others may be less well-known but they all play an important role in the artistic and philosophical development of this diverse group of artists. |
