Impressionism is one of the most influential and popular artistic movements of the 19th century and perhaps of all art history, and its proponents - Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas - are some of the world's most treasured artists. This beautifully illustrated reference book is packed with examples of all the artists' work and illuminating information. Beginning with an overview of the movement, it goes on to discuss the art in the context of society, place, influences, and styles and techniques. It is an ideal gift for art lovers or those new to the subject.
