Impressionism as an artistic movement was rooted inFrance in the middle of the 19th century. This beautifully illustratedbook present the history of development and expansion of theImpressionism between 1874 and 1886. Impressionists were the firstwestern artists to find inspiration outside the boundaries of Europe,and the first to be influenced by the world of popular imagery whichhad been despised for centuries.Bernard Denvir, in his splendidlylively and entertaining text, shows how Impressionism, in substitutinga perceptual rather than a conceptual way of recording reality, was atonce the last significant statement of visual pragmatism which wouldprofoundly alter our attitudes both to nature and to life itself.
