For a so-called art movement, impressionist painters were a very dissimilar group. Monet and Renoir liked people-watching and hanging out with the jet set at La BrenouilliÈre. Degas got his kicks from ballet dancers, working models, and racehorses. One thing these artists all had in common, however, was a love of color: bright, big, bold dabs of it. Impressionist Art: A Crash Courseprovides lots of color as well as hundreds of amusing anecdotes and little-known facts about this popular period. Readers will not only be able to tell the Manets from the Monets, but will quickly become experts on the many mini-movements within this popular style. This fun-loving guide is appealing, compact, lavishly illustrated, and conveniently organized chronologically spread by spread. For anyone who can’t tell the water lilies from the haystacks,Impressionist Art: A Crash Courseis an enjoyable trip for all. • Reader-friendly and informative text brings new dimension to familiar history • Each 2-page spread is devoted to a particular impressionist movement, topic, or individual artist • Compact and easy to follow timeline puts vital events of the period into context Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

This was one of the hardest books to read, physically, that I've ever made it through. It's only 7 x 5 inches, and 146 pages and is crammed with information and beautiful artworks. It's also filled with 4 point type - I've seen larger texts at the bottom of loan contracts. Some pages are set in one column, some in two, with no apparent reason. Some side info boxes are printed in Italic, which with the colored background really strained my bifocals.
This book needs to be bigger, physically.
Nevertheless, it is well worth the struggle: if you want to know the complete history of Impressionism as an art movement, this is required reading. (
