Articoli correlati a Impressionism An Intimate View: Small French Paintings...
The art of the impressionist has an enduring appeal. Exhibitions on impressionism and impressionist artists continue to draw large crowds. Yet very little has been published that focuses on the intimate nature of much impressionist art.
Presenting over fifty works by major artists, and using the Ailsa Mellon Bruce Collection of small French paintings in the National Gallery of Art as its starting point, this illustrated new volume explores two important aspects of impressionism. First, it illustrates how artists such as Degas, Monet, Morisot, Pissarro, Renoir, and Sisley sought to capture fleeting, everyday moments and ordinary objects encountered in their own lives and those of their families, friends, and servants. The scale and subject matter were in stark contrast to the paintings of the official Salon. In place of large-scale academic or neoclassical subjects, the impressionists turned to self-portraits, flowers in a crystal vase, a view of dancers backstage, a sister at a window, or an interior just after dinner - in works that were at once highly personal and introverted, wistful and dreamlike, transient and intimate in scale.
