IMPRESSIONISM ART 1860-1920/ INGO F. WALTHER

Impressionism Art 1860–1920 by Ingo F. Walther is an authoritative and visually rich survey on one of art history's most revolutionary movements. Published by Taschen America LLC, this 781-page masterpiece traces the rise and development of Impressionism from its bold beginnings in France to its enduring effect on modern visual culture across the globe.

With scholarly depth and accessible narrative, Walther introduces the reader to the core techniques, themes, and philosophies of Impressionism: the movement's break with the academic tradition and its fascination with light, movement, and the fleeting experience of everyday life. Including many stimulating passages about the lives and works of the icons Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, and Berthe Morisot, this book colorfully depicts an era in which art was metamorphosing.

This is not merely a catalog of masterpieces; rather, it analyses how Impressionism responded to the social, political, and technological changes of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Though small in size, it is thick and consists of hundreds of superb reproductions plus essays and artist biographies, making it a win-win reference for students, collectors, and art enthusiasts.

On the desk or nestled within a private library of art books, Impressionism, 1860–1920 becomes a reference for anyone with an interest in understanding and appreciating the sensitivity, creativity, and enduring appeal of this great art movement.
