French Impressionists and Their Circle

The charms of the French landscape, the holiday mood of Paris boulevards, cafés, and parks, and above all, the poetry of light — these are the subjects immortalized by the Impressionists in one of the most exciting art movements of the nineteenth century. More than fifty pages of reproductions, with thirty in full color, provide a comprehensive view of the Impressionists, represented in examples by Manet, Renoir, Pissarro, Monet, Sisley, Degas, Seurat, Gauguin, Lautrec, Van Gogh, Cézanne, Morisot, and Cassatt. Six of the color plates are double-page size, each accompanied by a color detail. A special feature of the book is a generous selection of the drawings of the Impressionist group reproduced in duo-tone.
