The Pocket Impressionism

An introduction to Impressionism, the rebellious 19th century art movement.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Characterised by its spontaneous, short brush strokes, natural subject focus and emphasis on light, Impressionism remains one of the most famous artistic movements of all time. Given how celebrated the style is today, it is perhaps difficult to believe that the Impressionists were frequently shunned by their contemporaries and excluded from art exhibitions.

In this introductory guide to the defiant world of Impressionism, you will be introduced to ten of the movement's pioneersβ€”Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and Camille Pissarroβ€”as well as Mary Cassatt and lesser-known figures such as Berthe Morisot. You will learn about their personal lives, their artistic ambitions and how their legacies continue to influence the creation of art today.

The Pocket Impressionism is part of Gemini Pockets. From little guides to soothe your soul to all-access passes to the lives of pop icons, and from quizzes and puzzles for literature lovers to books on food, nature, fashion, and more, Gemini Pockets are the perfect fit for your life and interests.
