The Pocket Impressionism (Gemini Pockets) [9781802473261]

Overview

An introduction to Impressionism, the rebellious 19th century art movement.

Impressionism emerged in late nineteenth-century France. It was born when artists began to paint an “impression” of what they saw rather than a faithful, realistic reproduction of the subject. An emphasis on vibrant colours, loose brushwork and a focus on light and atmosphere set it apart from what had come before.

It is now one of the most popular art movements in the world, and famous works are viewed by admirers in huge numbers. Claude Monet’s house in Giverny, France, is visited by half a million people every year.

Discover what makes Impressionism so beloved with this beautifully rendered pocket-size guide, featuring intimate profiles of its ten most influential artists and deep dives into their iconic masterpieces. Packed with fascinating history, quotes and a dynamic design, The Pocket Impressionism is the perfect gift for art lovers, students or creatives.
