Grimme Karin H. - Impressionism - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: Discover how scenes of daily life and delicate dabs of color shocked the art world establishment. In this Taschen Basic Art introduction to Impressionism we explore the artists subjects and techniques that first brought the easel out of the studio and shifted artistic attention from history religion or portraiture to the evanescent ebb and flow of modern life. As we tour the theaters bars and parks of Paris and beyond we take in the movement's radical innovations in style and subject from the principle of plein air painting to the rapid broken brushwork that allowed the Impressionists to emphasize spontaneity movement and the changing qualities of light. We take a close look at their unusual new perspectives and their fresh palette of pure unblended colors including many vividly bright shades that brought a whole new level of chromatic intensity to the canvas. Along the way we recognize Impressionism's established greats such as Edgar Degas Claude Monet Berthe Morisot and Camille Pissarro as well as many associated artists worthy of closer attention including Marie Bracquemond Medardo Rosso and Fritz von Uhde.
