Book excerpt: Defining an artistic era or movement is often a difficult task, as one tries to group individualistic expressions and artwork under one broad brush. Such is the case with impressionism, which culls together the art of a multitude of painters in the mid-19th century, including Monet, Cézanne, Renoir, Degas, and van Gogh. Basically, impressionism involved the shedding of traditional painting methods. The subjects of art were taken from everyday life, as opposed to the pages of mythology and history. In addition, each artist painted to express feelings of the moment instead of hewing to time-honoured standards. This description of impressionism, obviously, is quite broad and can apply to a wide array of styles. Nonetheless, it remains a very important school in the annals of art. Any current or budding art aficionado should become familiar with the impressionist movement and its impact on the art world. This book presents a sweeping study of this artistic period, from its origins to its manifestations in the works of some of art history's most revered painters. Following this overview is a substantial and selective bibliography, featuring access through author, title, and subject indexes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The return of the revised edition of the most popular volume on French Impressionism, offers inspired, authoritative text and hundreds of exquisite illustrations. The Great Book of French Impressionism celebrates the richness and exuberance of the Impressionists's world—a world of light and color, of sunlit fields and shimmering waterscapes, of bustling city views and intimate domestic scenes. The 400 illustrations in this handsomely designed volume faithfully capture the subtle nuances of light and keen perception that make French Impressionist paintings unique. This edition features recent scholarship, more complete backmatter, and an expanded index. In her thoughtful and cogent text, art historian Diane Kelder traces the development of Impressionism from its roots in landscape and realist painting through its focus on modern urban life to its ultimate goal: to fix on canvas the fleeting moods and effects of nature in an ever-changing world. The author weaves into her narrative fascinating anecdotes and excerpts form contemporary essays and letters, examines in detail the lives and works of all the major Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, including Manet, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Seurat, and Cezanne, and shows how their work influenced others, ultimately giving rise to the new art of the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: I THE PRECURSORS OF IMPRESSIONISM-THE BEGINNING OF THIS MOVEMENT AND THE ORIGIN OF ITS NAME It will be beyond the scope of this volume to give a complete history of French Impressionism, and to include all the attractive details to which it might lead, as regards the movement itself and the very curious epoch during which its evolution has taken place. The proportions of this book confine its aim to the clearest possible summing up for the British reader of the ideas, the personalities and the works of a considerable group of artists who, for various reasons, have remained but little known and who have only too frequently been gravely misjudged. These reasons are very obvious: first, the Impressionists have been unable to make a show at the Salons, partly because the jury refused them admission, partly because they held aloof of their own free will. They have, with very rare exceptions, exhibited at special minor galleries, where they become known to a very restricted public. Ever attacked, and poor until the last few years, they enjoyed none of the benefits of publicity and sham glory. It is only quite recently that the admission of the incomplete and badly arranged Caillebotte collection to the Luxembourg Gallery has enabled the public to form a summary idea of Impressionism. To conclude the enumeration of the obstacles, it must be added that there are hardly any photographs of Impressionist works in the market. As it is, photography is but a poor translation of these canvases devoted to the study of the play of light; but even this very feeble means of distribution has been withheld from them! Exhibited at some galleries, gathered principally by Durand-Ruel, sold directly to art-lovers-foreigners mostly-these large series of works have practically remained unknown to the French public. All the public heard was the reproaches and sarcastic comments of the opponents, and they never became aware that in the midst of modern life the greatest, the richest movement was in progress, which the French school had known since the days of Romanticism. Impressionism has been made known to them principally by the controversies and by the fruitful consequences of this movement for the illustration and study of contemporary life. MANETREST I do not profess to give here a detailed and complete history of Impressionism, for which several volumes like the present one would be required. I shall only try to compile an ensemble of concise and very precise notions and statements bearing upon this vast subject. It will be my special object to try and prove that Impressionism is neither an isolated manifestation, nor a violent denial of the French traditions, but nothing more or less than a logical return to the very spirit of these traditions, contrary to the theories upheld by its detractors. It is for this reason that I have made use of the first chapter to say a few words on the precursors of this movement. No art manifestation is really isolated. However new it may seem, it is always based upon the previous epochs....

Download or read book Collaborative Circles written by Michael P. Farrell and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2003-11 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many artists, writers, and other creative people do their best work when collaborating within a circle of likeminded friends. Experimenting together and challenging one another, they develop the courage to rebel against the established traditions in their field. Out of their discussions they develop a new, shared vision that guides their work even when they work alone. In a unique study that will become a rich source of ideas for professionals and anyone interested in fostering creative work in the arts and sciences, Michael P. Farrell looks at the group dynamics in six collaborative circles: the French Impressionists; Sigmund Freud and his friends; C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and the Inklings; social reformers Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony; the Fugitive poets; and the writers Joseph Conrad and Ford Maddox Ford. He demonstrates how the unusual interactions in these collaborative circles drew out the creativity in each member. Farrell also presents vivid narrative accounts of the roles played by the members of each circle. He considers how working in such circles sustains the motivation of each member to do creative work; how collaborative circles shape the individual styles of the persons within them; how leadership roles and interpersonal relationships change as circles develop; and why some circles flourish while others flounder.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Impressionists and Their Contemporaries Represented in American Collections To these technical matters I shall return later on. At this initial juncture it will be well, I think, to get our theme launched on a human basis: a basis of human drama. Of such drama there was, as we peer back at the period in question, no dearth. For, be the precise nature of their paint theories what they might, the artists responsible for the Impressionist movement in France had, like all pioneering artists in the history of art, to battle for their cause against the usual obstacles and with little beyond bootstrap encouragement. Suppose then, first, we consider the Impressionists simply as an insurgent group of artists who, along in the 1860's, found themselves drawn together by interests sufficiently mutual to make some sort of concerted action, when the time came, imperative. It was by no means a group formed over' night, nor, even after it had got pretty well established, was it a closely knit group. One of the underlying factors, as I see it now, was simply a shared wish to make the Salon, failing which where, in those days, would one be? The Paris Salon, like all academic organizations, was governed according to certain fixed canons of taste. It stood for what was accepted and respectable. Young artists with revolutionary ideas, it goes without saying, were treated as disruptive and dangerous rebels who must be suppressed in the interest of maintaining the dignity of Art - even in behalf of safeguarding the Morals of the State. An Old story, endlessly reverberant down the corridor of time, which need not be dwelt upon save to the extent of noting that (again true to form) the be havior of the Salon's administrators acted ultimately as a boomerang by impelling our outré artists of the 6o's and 70's never to relax until they had achieved public recognition.
