Title: The great book of French Impressionism.
Description: New York 1980 (29,5 x 33,7 cm), 446 pp. English text, 451 ills., (241 colour plates), clothbound ¶ The Great Book of French Impressionism celebrates the richness and exuberance of the Impressionists's world - a world of light and color, of sunlit fields and shimmering waterscapes, of bustling city views and intimate domestic scenes. The 400 illustrations in this handsomely designed volume faithfully capture the subtle nuances of light and keen perception that make French Impressionist paintings unique. This edition features recent scholarship, more complete backmatter, and an expanded index. In her thoughtful and cogent text, art historian Diane Kelder traces the development of Impressionism from its roots in landscape and realist painting through its focus on modern urban life to its ultimate goal: to fix on canvas the fleeting moods and effects of nature in an ever-changing world.
