When \u003cem\u003eImpression, Sunrise\u003c\/em\u003e by Claude Monet was exhibited in April 1874, critics seized upon the work's title and its \u003cstrong\u003eloose stylistic rendering of light and motion\u003c\/strong\u003e upon water to deride this new, impressionistic tendency in art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs with many seminal art movements, the critics got their comeuppance. Today, Impressionism is a close contender for the world's favourite period of painting. With blockbuster exhibitions, record-breaking auction prices, and packed museums, the works once dismissed as unfinished or imprecise are now \u003cstrong\u003ebeloved for their atmospheric evocation of time and place\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as the \u003cstrong\u003estylistic flair of rapid brushstrokes\u003c\/strong\u003e upon canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its popularity and a whole host of publications, many areas and artists of Impressionism remain inadequately researched. This TASCHEN book fills the gap, \u003cstrong\u003eraising the profile of unjustly neglected pioneers such as Berthe Morisot, Lucien Pissarro, and Gustave Caillebotte\u003c\/strong\u003e, while exploring the characteristics of Impressionism, from painting en plein air to vivid colour contrasts, not only in the movement's native France but also across the rest of Europe and North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47383875617004,"sku":"9783836557115","price":56.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/27559283483553.jpg?v=1773384833","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/impressionism-1860-1920-9783836557115","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
