Impression who better than Monet in 1867, could have defined what was to become the most well-known and beloved pictorial movement? Nevertheless, it took more than thirty years for these artists (Manet, Monet, Pissarro, Renoir) to be accepted and acknowleged by their contemporaries. Impressionism was the first step towards modern painting, and it revolutionned an artistic background suffocated by academic norms.Taking the Impressionistic revolution even further, Post-impressionism was to completely liberate the colour and revealed unknown horizons (with Seurat, Van Gogh, Czanne, ) which became unmissable passages for the greatest names of 20th century painting (Picasso, Matisse, Kandinsky)You will rediscover, along the pages of this book, the freshness, the colours and the quality of these timeless masterworks.

Synopsis:
When they met in 1928, Frida Kahlo was then 21 years old and Diego Rivera was twice her age. He was already an international reference, she only aspired to become one. This tormented union generated intense artistic creation, along with pain and suffering, in particular for Frida. Constantly in the shadow of her husband, bearing his unfaithfulness and her jealousy, Frida exorcised the pain on canvas, and progressively won the public's interest. On both continents, America and Europe, these committed artists proclaimed their freedom and left behind them the mark of their exceptional talent. In this book, Gerry Souter brings together both biographies and underlines with passion, the link that existed between the two greatest Mexican artists of the 20th century.
About the Author:
Gerry Souter learned about trains at his grandfather's knee in the New York Central roundhouse at Buffalo, New York, and sprawled next to his own Lionel trains beginning at age eight. He met Janet, his wife, in a darkroom at the School of the Chicago Art Institute. Their cameras have visited many Lionel layouts bringing creative illustration to their words. The Souters currently live in Arlington, Illinois.
