Impressionism: Reimagining Art

Impressionism: Reimagining Art

Reflecting the most recent research on this groundbreaking artistic movement, this lavishly illustrated and comprehensive book examines Impressionism on a global scale, from its iconic French masterpieces to less familiar works by Scandinavian, German, British, and North American artists. One of the art worldâ€™s most recognizable and popular styles, Impressionism is also one of the most complex. In this sumptuous overview Norbert Wolf lends his attention to all aspects of Impressionism: its historical precursors, contemporary rivals, and the movements it inspired. Over 200 large format reproductions of entire works and highlighted details introduce readers to the Impressionistsâ€™ aesthetics and techniques. Wolf draws insightful parallels between these paintings and other
contemporary works of music, photography, and literature. Tracing the movementâ€™s expansion from France to the rest
of Europe and North America, this volume shines a spotlight on the main protagonists who were key in the development of Impressionism. It highlights not only the French pioneersâ€•Claude Monet, Gustave Caillebotte, Ã‰douard Manet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, and othersâ€•but also Max Liebermann, Lovis Corinth, John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, and James McNeill Whistler, to name a few. As luxurious as it is authoritative, this wide-ranging investigation of a moment in art history reveals works and ideas that will surprise even the most seasoned aficionado.
