"Impressionism is best known for the work of its French practitioners, the great painters Renoir, Monet, Degas, Manet, Pissarro and Morisot. In all its contexts Impressionism marked a breakthrough for artists, who now responded to light and atmospheric conditions, to landscape and cityscape. The international movement took on numerous forms and palettes, as Australian artists expressed the panoramas of the outback, Swiss artists responded to the snowy Alpine terrian, and Russians attempted to capture the misty luminous forests of their native land. Others were more canonical" the great American Impressionist Cassatt, Twatchman, and Hassam. This book includes painters such as Italians De Nitts and Boldini, the Scandinavians Kroyer and Zorn, the Spaniard Sorolla, the Japanese artist Umehara, the German Tina Blau, the Englishman Sidney Starr, and numerous other artists."--BOOK JACKET.
