Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Featuring 85 full-page color plates, this jewel of an album showcases one of the most brilliant impressionist exhibitions ever mounted. The fine-tuned plates recreate the incandescent chromatics in a Degas pastel of dancers, or the sparkling streaks in a Mary Cassatt portrait. There are works by celebrated impressionists--Renoir, Manet, Pissarro, Degas, etc.--and less well-known figures such as Gustave Caillebotte and Berthe Morisot. The monograph embraces neo-impressionist work such as the country- and cityscapes of Paul Signac, as well as Van Gogh's windmills, Gauguin's South Seas paradise and Pierre Bonnard's symbolic transformations of the ordinary. Facing-page commentaries by art historian Gerstein illuminate historical and personal contexts as well as impressionist modes of perception and knowing. Five museums collaborated on this show that will travel among them: Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; Minneapolis Institute of Arts; Nelson-Atkins Museum, Kansas City, Mo.; Saint Louis Art Museum; and Toledo Museum of Art. Literary Guild selection.

From School Library Journal
YA-- A well-written and visually appealing art book. It will be of particular interest because of its coverage on collecting in the Midwest, with special emphasis placed on the roles of patrons and curators in the accumulation of French Impressionism by American museums. Illustrated with large color plates, with individual artists' works arranged chronologically, it allows novices to follow the evolution of the artists' styles. --Elise Vidal, Episcopal High School, Bellaire, TX
