The History of Impressionism – John Rewald

R850.00

This scholarly book is written in a very accessible style. The impressionists come alive and the reader begins to understand what it was like to be a painter/outcast in turn of the century Paris. This is a book people return to again and again to reread sections on the impressionists as they visit various exhibits on the various artists. I haven’t read a book on art history that was more clearly written. I really recommend this book to anyone not just those with an art history appetite.

Book is firm in its binding, 672 pages include Index, black & white and color reproductions. Free of any markings, B&W & Color Plates; Square.
