Impressionists in Winter: Effets De Neige by Charles
S. Moffett (Editor), Eliza E. Rathbone, Katherine Rothkopf, Joel
Isaacson – Hardcover, 240 pages (October 1999) Philip Wilson
Pub Ltd
It may seem eccentric to gather together paintings according
to the season they depict, but this large, handsome volume will
make readers wonder why no one thought of it before. Winter
is different from the other three seasons, with its extraordinary
range of color and light—from subtle grays and pinks to
deep blues and yellows—and the distinct absence of that
difficult color, green. This book, the catalog of an exhibition
at the Phillips Collection in Ashington, D.C., is a collection
of more than 60 large color plates of impressionist paintings.
They form a surprising group that presents each painting—even
if it is already familiar—in a new way
Master teacher and bestselling author Ron Ranson introduces
his favorite watercolor impressionists, along with clear, insightful
commentary. The fourteen artists featured include Trevor Chamberlain,
Edward Seago, John Yardley, and Barbara Crowe. Over 100 works
appear in brilliant color in an oversize format. 128 pages,
136 color illus., 15 b/w illus.
Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review, Richard Sennett: Not
a word is wasted. And the words are rich; Schapiro's prose possesses
an unequaled power to wake up the reader's eye. This is probably
the only book ever to relate Impressionism to Egyptian sculpture,
Roman wall paintings, Chinese landscape scrolls, Immanuel Kant,
Karl Heinz Helmholz and Gustave Flaubert, as well as to Pollock.
Yet Schapiro never displays his learning as if he's waving a flag;
he quotes and refers only to strengthen the reader's visual experience.
What makes this book so compelling, though, is his depiction of
Impressionism as a way of life as well as of art, an embrace of
one's sensual experience and of the people and places that arouse
it.
Organized into three thematic sections—"Days and Nights
in Town," "Outdoors in Gardens and the Countryside,"
and "Excursions to the Seaside"—this charming, 7
1/2-square-inch gift book features impressionist works from the
collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
Art in the Making: Impressionism by David Bomford,
Jo Kirby, John Leighton, Ashok Roy – Paperback, Published
by Yale University Press, 1991
Impressionist art appears to be effortless and spontaneous,
but it actually involves an intricate approach to painting.
In this book a curator, an conservator, and two scientists use
modern methods of examination to investigate exactly how these
paintings were done and what materials were used. 76 illustrations;
208 color plates.
Reader review: This book contains prints of impressionism.
It has pieces from Monet, Van Gogh, and other famous artists.
It is nicely arranged, and also gives you some information about
the artist and the print. This book would be a great gift for
those who love art.
In this book, Impressionism is presented not merely as a style
of art, but also unveils how the artists themselves may be viewed
within the context of their own social and cultural "moment."
While providing an orderly survey of the great artists for the
general reader; the book also imparts new ideas about the Impressionists
for readers more familiar with the subject.
Reader review: You will be astounded by this film. The
masters are on display in a way that is extrodinarily memorable.
This film will stay with you for the rest of your life. Enjoy.
Impressionism
and Post Impressionism by Nathalia Brodskaya – Hardcover:
256 pages Box set of two books in slip case Publisher: Parkstone
Press (March 30, 2007)
Impression... who better than Monet in 1867, could have defined
what was to become the most well-known and beloved pictorial movement?
Nevertheless, it took more than thirty years for these artists (Manet,
Monet, Pissarro, Renoir...) to be accepted and acknowleged by their
contemporaries. Impressionism was the first step towards modern
painting, and it revolutionned an artistic background suffocated
by academic norms. Taking the Impressionistic revolution even further,
Post-impressionism was to completely liberate the colour and revealed
unknown horizons
World Impressionism by Norma Broude – Hardcover:
424 pages Publisher: Harry N Abrams; Reprint edition (September
1, 1994)
In a much-needed, revelatory survey, impressionism is seen not
as a French school but as a major event in the world's visual
culture. The luminous palette and spontaneous brushwork of Renoir,
Monet et al. inspired or coincided with an individualistic,
responsive approach taken by painters from Canada and Latin
America to Russia and the Far East. In Britain, the impressionist
impulse helped liberate artists from Victorian painting's moralizing
norms; in Japan, it fostered a style able to convey the artist's
unique personality; in places as diverse as Italy, Finland and
Australia, it became linked with nationalist aspirations. Childe
Hassam (U.S.), Anders Zorn (Sweden), Ilya Repin and Igor Grabar
(Russia) and Joaquin Sorolla (Spain) are among scores of painters
profiled in a marvelously illustrated volume that will forever
change the way we look at impressionism. Art historian Broude
led an international team of scholars in this effort. Copyright

Impressionist works are among the most prized and popular museum
possessions, yet European museums scorned them until the end
of the 19th century. This exhibition catalog, compiled by a
group of international art scholars, concentrates on the dealers,
collectors, donors, and museum specialists in 13 European countries
responsible for finally winning official sanction for Impressionism.
Some 68 clear, full-page color plates, which display the oeuvre
of 19 impressionist artists, are accompanied by detailed descriptions
highlighting the provenance of each work.
Origins of Impressionismby Gary Tinterow, Henri
Loyrette – Hardcover, 486 pages (November 1994) Harry N
Abrams

Museum of Art in New York explores the special relationships between
the Impressionist painters, discusses the paintings themselves,
and includes bibliographies of two hundred works.
The Impressionist Print by Michel Melot, Caroline
Beamish (Translator) – Hardcover (January 1997) Yale Univ
Press
The Publisher: A print can sometimes tell us more than a
painting about the history of art. Michel Melot illustrates
his thesis in this book, analysing relationships between artists,
the art market, the critics, collectors and political institutions.
This fresh approach reveals Impressionism not as a sort of miracle,
but as a response to economic and social upheaval. This original
view of a key movement in the history of art allows the reader
to understand its decisive effect on all the subsequent generations
who have contributed to maintaining the tradition of the belle
epreuve.
Impressionism as an artistic movement was rooted in France in
the middle of the 19th century. This beautifully illustrated
book present the history of development and expansion of the
Impressionism between 1874 and 1886. Impressionists were the
first western artists to find inspiration outside the boundaries
of Europe, and the first to be influenced by the world of popular
imagery which had been despised for centuries. Bernard Denvir,
in his splendidly lively and entertaining text, shows how Impressionism,
in substituting a perceptual rather than a conceptual way of
recording reality, was at once the last significant statement
of visual pragmatism which would profoundly alter our attitudes
both to nature and to life itself.

(Contributor) – Hardcover (October 1993) Metropolitan Museum
of Art.
The fabulous Havemeyer Collection of Manhattan's Metropolitan
Museum of Art is sampled in this exhibition catalog. Coupling
800 plates (176 in color) with informative essays by a team
of 27 scholars led by exhibition co-curators Frelinghuysen and
Tinterow, the album includes works by Rembrandt, El Greco, Veronese,
Cranach, Bronzino, Daumier and Courbet, plus impressionist masterpieces
by Corot, Manet, Monet, Cezanne, Renoir, Degas and Mary Cassatt.
That Louisine Havemeyer (1855-1929), husband Henry (1847-1907)
and their family possessed broad taste in Asian arts is evident
in objects ranging from Japanese woodblock prints to a Korean
hanging scroll. Their eclectic passion for the decorative arts
is also on display in Egyptian sculpture, Islamic painting and
pottery, Venetian glass, Italian majolica and Tiffany glass
and flatware. —Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information,
