Paint with the Impressionists is illustrated with well-known works of art, and shows how the masters achieved their effects and how their ideas and styles can be adapted today.

Demonstrations show how to achieve the desired effects, from the initial sketch to the finished painting. Sections on the artists provide insight into individual techniques. You will learn how to recreate the style of Claude Monet’s landscapes, Paul Ce´zanne’s still lifes, or Edgar Degas’s figures, and see your own impressionist skills develop from the first brushstroke to the finished painting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Impressionists Monet, Manet, Degas, Morisot, Pissarro, Renoir, Sisley and others are probably the most popular of all artistic schools. Their struggle to impose a new vision is one of the most absorbing in the whole history of art. With imagination and insight, art historian Bernard Denvir brings Impressionism into focus by showing it through the eyes of the artists themselves and their contemporaries, against the background of the time. Through letters, critical reviews, statements and reminiscences whether explosive or appreciative, blinkered or perceptive of the people who were there, the story of this ground-breaking art movement comes alive. This was the age of innovation, political liberalization, emergent photography and modern ideas about perception. The Impressionists had new ways of painting, but they also had a new world to paint. This revised edition now features full colour reproductions of art throughout and an updated bibliography.

Book excerpt: "Monet and Givenchy, Renoir and Les Collettes, Pissarro and the Hermitage at Pontoise: Impressionist artists and their homes are inseparably linked. For each, home meant something slightly different - a place of comfort in a rapidly shifting society, a sanctuary immune to changing fortunes and fame, a simpler way of life away from the city, a place to express their individuality and to entertain. In every case it shaped their art." "Organized around the artists' daily routines - eating, socializing, working, bathing, sleeping, relaxing, raising children - this book explores the home lives of the Impressionists as never before. Drawing on their paintings, diaries, letters, reminiscences, intimate sketches and family photographs, it charts the turbulence and tranquility of the artists' private lives, considering their attitudes to relationships, family, interior decoration, money and their art."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book The Taste of Giverny written by Claire Joyes and published by Flammarion-Pere Castor. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the end of the nineteenth century, a "colony" of Anglo-Saxon painters, mostly American, had settled in Giverny. They were drawn by the beauty of this picturesque village and its surrounding countryside, and by the presence of Calude Monet who had settled there in 1883. The link between the master of Impressionism and the new arrivals was strong: not only did Monet influence their painting style, but socially the artists lived in a close-knit community, enjoying moments of relaxation together before or after long hours spent at the easel. For the first time, this book tells the little-known story of the everyday life of this community: daily meetings at the tennis courts; entertaining in the Butler household (Theodore Butler married Monet's daughter); and the central role played by the Hô tel Baudy. The proprietors of this family-run hotel offered the artists a convivial meeting place, affordable lodgings, and good food, which the artists often paid for in paintings. Madame Baudy adapted her fare so that porridge could be ordered for breakfast and Thanksgiving dinner enjoyed on the appropriate day. Here French chef Monique Mourgues has adapted over thirty recipes from the menus served at the Hô tel and from the Butler recipe book, including dandelion omelet and baked trout from the local river Epte. Illustrated throughout with specially commissioned photographs of the painters' homes and the Hô tel Baudy, alongside period paintings of country scenes and daily life in the impressionistic style, "The Taste of Giverny" allows the reader to savor the lively atmosphere and gastronomic delights of this small artists' village at the turn of the last century. The fate of Giverny, a quiet village in Normandy, was changed forever when Monet moved there in 1883. Picnics, games of tennis, outdoor teas, billiards tournaments, dinners, and masked balls . . . the numerous artists who flocked to this rural idyll pursued not only the art of painting, but also the art of living. Here author Claire Joyes unveils the everyday activities of the community, the reactions of the locals to their new neighbors, and the central role played by Madame Baud, hotel proprietor, talented cook, and matchmaker. Stunning original photographs featuring the artists' studios, their houses, Giverny itself, and the surrounding countryside, plunge us into the atmosphere of the village as it was at the height of the Impressionist period.
