Les Annees Impressionistes (1870-1889) (French Edition)

Here is the volume for those who wish to see the painters they love within the context of their era. It considers diverse aspects of the years 1870-1890, such as the exodus to the country, the theme of women and the rapid growth of sprawling towns, through specific analysis. Combined with this is a chronicle which presents the major works of Impressionism, alongside academic pictorial production, placing both within the wider framework of contemporary Art and Literature. This new approach guides us through the artistic life of the era and the Paris artworld of painters, writers and musicians.
