Impressionist Art

From Degas' ballerinas to Monet's sunrises, explore the range of techniques the French Impressionists used to capture everyday life and landscapes.

There's information on all the major painters: how Monet cleared an entire train station just so he could paint it, why Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt could not paint the same subjects as their male counterparts, and why the Impressionists liked photography.

Also--see why they sometimes slashed their own work and were laughed at by nearly everyone! 72 pages (all in color), 4 1/2 x 8.
