Engelmann, who is not otherwise identified, begins with a 24-page essay about the school of painting that during the final third of the 19th century shocked critics and the public not only with a new style of painting that many saw as nothing but daubs and squiggles, but also with a shift in subject away from the heroic and romantic to scenes of everyday life in the modern world. Then she reproduces 50 of the most influential paintings and describes for each the biographical, historical, social, and artistic context of its creation. The arrangement is chronological from 1863 to 1906. Biographical sketches of the artists are appended. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) - Prestel Publishing
No artistic education is complete without a healthy dose of the Impressionists. - Prestel Publishing
No artistic education is complete without a healthy dose of the Impressionists. Here fifty of the most important works from the early nineteenth through the early twentieth centuries are gorgeously reproduced, including the best of Monet, Degas, van Gogh, Renoir, Cézanne, Cassatt, Manet, Seurat, and Pisarro. Each piece is given a brief overview establishing its place in the Impressionist pantheon as well as in its artist's oeuvre. An introductory text explains the Impressionistic style, tracing the movement's development, while an appendix offers biographies of the artists. The result is a veritable seminar on Impressionism, creating a fun and practical art history lesson that everyone can enjoy. - Random House, Inc.
