Impressionists","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis inspiring collection covers the work, the lives, and the enduring impact of five key Impressionists, in one volume that's a primer and a celebration of probably the most popular artistic genre of all time. Each featured artist broke boundaries in different ways, astounding late 19th-century society with their boldness of vision and technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEdgar Degas explored movement and the human form with masterly style and innovative compositions, most famously of dancers, racehorses, and busy streetscapes. Claude Monet was a maestro of light and atmosphere, capturing the fleeting moment with his iconic water lilies and series paintings. Pierre-Auguste Renoir celebrated beauty and sensuality, bringing vibrancy to everyday scenes with lush brushwork and a radiant palette. Paul Gauguin sought inspiration in the exotic, using bold colours and symbolism, often to unsettling effect. Finally, Vincent van Gogh's highly emotive use of colour and vigorous brushstrokes conveyed his private turmoil and did much to lay the groundwork for Expressionism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTogether, these five creative masters redefined what art dared to achieve, emphasising personal expression alongside their exploration of light, colour, and perspective.

His subjects centred on the teeming, noisy streets of Paris, as well as its leisure entertainments, such as horse racing, cabarets, and, most particularly, ballet. With often ambitious, off-kilter vantage points, his images of ballerinas numbered approximately 1,500 works, all deeply invested in the physicality and the discipline of dance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough illustrations of \u003cem\u003eFoyer de la Danse\u003c\/em\u003e (1872), \u003cem\u003eMusicians in the Orchestra\u003c\/em\u003e (1872), and many more, this book provides an essential overview of the artist who created a category all his own, a world of classical resonance, bold compositions, and an endless fascination with movement, which together produced some of the most striking and influential works of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596166807788,"sku":"9783836532716","price":52.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783836532716-degas.jpg?v=1777917387"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/bernd-growe.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
