The glorious paintings of the Impressionists continue to excite wide interest among new generations, well over one hundred years after the first Impressionist exhibition of 1874. "Impressionist Painters" presents 21 lively and informative biographies, arranged alphabetically by the artists’ surnames for easy reference. Each describes artistic life in France in the 1860s, and focuses on the long-running confrontations between the Establishment and the mould-breaking Impressionist movement. Sumptuously illustrated with over 200 colour pictures and contemporary photographs, this book brings to life the work and the world of the Impressionist painters: the pioneers of modern art.
