Impressionism (angol nyelvű)

Összefoglaló

This monograph covers the full scope of Impressionist painting. It outlines the history of Impressionism in France, addressing not only the work of the acknowledged masters, but also that of such unjustly neglected artists as Bazille, Caillebotte, Berthe Morisot or Lucien Pissarro. The monograph also examines the Impressionist movements that emerged in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Scandinavia, Eastern and South-East Europe, Italy, Spain, Britain and North America. A 64-page "Directory of Impressionism" is appended, containing bibliographies, portraits and biographical data on all 236 artists. The author: Ingo F. Walther was born in Berlin and studied medieval studies, literature and art history in Frankfurt am Main and Munich. He has published widely on literature and art, and presently lives in Alling, near Munich.
