The Great Book of French Impressionism by Diane Kelder. Abbeville Press Publishers, New York, 1980. Third Printing. ISBN 0-89659-151-4. Copyright 1980 by Cross River Press, Ltd. Printed and bound in Japan.
Large format hardcover art book, approximately 15” x 12”. 446 pages. Over 400 illustrations including more than 200 in full color, with sixteen fold-out color spreads. Designed by Howard Morris. Bibliography and index.
Comprehensive illustrated history celebrating the richness and exuberance of French Impressionism - a world of light and color, sunlit fields and shimmering waterscapes, bustling city views and intimate domestic scenes. Art historian Diane Kelder traces the development of Impressionism from its roots in landscape and Realist painting through its focus on modern urban life to its ultimate goal of capturing fleeting moods and effects of nature.
Examines lives and works of all major Impressionists including Manet, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Seurat, and Cézanne, showing how their work influenced others and gave rise to twentieth-century art. Text interwoven with fascinating anecdotes and excerpts from contemporary essays and letters.
Opening pages feature Monet’s “Riverside Walk at Argenteuil” (1872) and van Gogh’s “Stairway at Auvers” (1890).
Condition: Very Good condition. Large format hardcover with illustrated dust jacket showing vibrant Impressionist street scene. Dust jacket has moderate edge wear with chipping and creasing, especially at spine ends and corners. Book binding is solid and tight. Pages clean and bright with no markings. Complete with all fold-out color plates intact.
Impressive coffee table art book and Impressionist reference work.
