Impressionism / Phoebe Pool
1967, First Edition. London : Thames & Hudson. Very good paperback copy; edges slightly dust-dulled and nicked. Remains particularly well-preserved overall.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 287 pages; 287p. : illus (som col) ; 22cm. The Impressionists--Monet, Manet, Cezanne, Degas, Pissarro, and Renoir--are probably the most popular of all artistic schools. With imagination and insight, the author brings Impressionism into focus by showing it through the eyes of the artists and their contemporaries, using letters, critical reviews and reminiscences of the people who were part of the story. As we see in Bernard Denvir's compelling survey, the Impressionists had new ways of painting, but they also had a new world to paint: a world of stream tricycles, emergent photography, and modern ideas about perception. 195 illus., 17 in color.
