Impressionism: (Art Essentials)
It is often forgotten just how provocative Impressionist canvases seemed when they were first exhibited in 1874. The advocates of the new style rejected the established principles of art prevalent at that time in France. This book traces Impressionism\'s origins to its spread to America and Australia. Ralph Skea shows how Impressionist artists transformed everyday subject matter. Daringly using colour and rapid brushstrokes, the Impressionists worked out of doors, creating paintings that captured the transient effects of light and feeling. Impressionism\'s initial shock factor gradually gave way to widespread acceptance, but only now can we appreciate how profound its influence has been on modern art. 100 Illustrations, color
