印象派的故事

Art Essentials

by Ralph Skea, 拉尔夫·斯基, 北寺 (Translator)

如今为大众所熟知的印象主义是法国最知名的艺术风格，而或许很多人已经忘记，在其诞生之初，印象主义是对艺术传统的大胆挑衅，大众、同行和评论家都抗拒这一风格，甚至将其视为堕落的艺术。

这种“拙劣”“业余”的绘画风格是从何时起被大众接受的呢？

除了梵高、莫奈等知 名艺术家，印象主义运动中还有哪些被忽略的艺术大师？

本书从印象主义艺术运动的发端讲起，回溯了其完整的发展历程，我们将看到印象派从法国扩展至美国和澳大利亚，从一开始的惊世骇俗到广受好评，成为如今依然备受喜爱的绘画风格。

very pretty, very nice, very wholesome, but it kept on bringing up van gogh over and over again. i do not care about vincent and i did not ask for his opinion on every artist. please let him be.
otherwise it was a good read.

Loved how thorough yet accessible this was. I would like to read more from the 'art essentials' series.

Отличная книга для знакомства с импрессионизмом в целом, и с именитыми художниками этого направления в частности. Описание идёт от истоков до 50х гг. ХХ в. Очень порадовали иллюстрации знаменитых полотен в замечательном качестве. Даже после прочтения книгу можно сохранить для вдохновения.

Impressionism... a perfect blend of famous and lesser known paintings, art history, and the stories behind artists in the Impressionist movement. Tiny bits of information were offered throughout, highlighting explanations for painting certain subjects or why a composition was framed in a certain way by the artist, much like casual banter provided on a museum tour by a docent.

Being a complete Novice when it comes to Understanding or Viewing Art. I found this book extremely informative and I am walking away with a greater understanding of impressionism, its works, the artist and styles. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to gather more knowledge of the art world.

Lovely images, but supporting text was disjointed and repetitive.

Un cours essai pour aborder l’impressionnisme. Il est très bien construit, avec des reproductions de tableaux très soignées. C'est didactique et plaisant à lire, alors c'est un grand oui pour moi !

De mon côté, je n'ai pas forcément appris grand chose, ayant déjà beaucoup lu sur le sujet mais j'ai apprécié les chapitres sur l'impressionnisme étasunien et australien, et sur les héritiers de ce mouvement.
