The Impressionists is a fascinating biography of the artistic movement that laid the foundation for all trends and schools which today we call "Modern Art." The creative force of Cezanne and Gauguin, of Van Gogh and Renoir, of Manet and Monet, of Pissaro and Degas ~ and many more ~ is revealed in 172 superb color and black and white illustrations, offering the reader a tour through the great museums and private collections of Impressionist art. The author has supplemented his highly readable, informative text with capsule biographies of all the painters who participated in this movement ~ the giants as well as those of lesser fame ~ and the detailed captions accompanying the reproductions constitute in themselves as important critical survey of Impressionism.
