Manet, Monet, Pissarro, Cézanne, Renoir, Degas, Sisley, Berthe Morisot e Mary Cassatt. Sebbene fossero spesso ridicolizzati o ignorati dai loro contemporanei, oggi vengono pagate cifre sbalorditive per le opere di questi artisti. I loro quadri abbaglianti sono familiari, ma quanto il mondo conosce gli impressionisti come persone? In una narrazione vivida e commovente, la biografa Sue Roe mostra gli impressionisti negli studi di Parigi, nelle stradine rurali di Montmartre e nei bar chiassosi lungo il fiume mentre Parigi subiva la spettacolare trasformazione del barone Haussman. Per oltre vent'anni hanno vissuto e lavorato insieme come un gruppo, lottando per ricostruire le loro vite dopo la guerra franco-prussiana e sostenendosi a vicenda attraverso le reazioni scioccate del pubblico a tele sconosciute raffiguranti lavandaie, ballerine, fiori primaverili e scene di barche. Questo racconto intimo, colorato e superbamente ricercato ci porta nelle loro case e nei loro studi e descrive le loro vite non convenzionali, volatili e precarie, così come le storie dietro i loro dipinti.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Manet, Monet, Pissarro, Cézanne, Renoir, Degas, Sisley, Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt. Though they were often ridiculed or ignored by their contemporaries, astonishing sums are paid today for the works of these artists. Their dazzling pictures are familiar - but how well does the world know the Impressionists as people? In a vivid and moving narrative, biographer Sue Roe shows the Impressionists in the studios of Paris, rural lanes of Montmartre and rowdy riverside bars as Paris underwent Baron Haussman's spectacular transformation.For over twenty years they lived and worked together as a group, struggling to rebuild their lives after the Franco-Prussian war and supporting one another through shocked public reactions to unfamiliar canvasses depicting laundresses, dancers, spring blossom and boating scenes. This intimate, colourful, superbly researched account takes us into their homes as well as their studios and describes their unconventional, volatile and precarious lives, as well as the stories behind their paintings.
