Description:
The Impressionists showed us a new way to look at the world by recording their evanescent visions of the countryside and city streets. But one aspect of their work has gone largely overlooked -- the still-life painting. This charming gift book is the first to be devoted to this subject, which has a delightfully homey appeal. All the great artists in the movement produced still lifes in large numbers, and a selection from the most beloved artists are included here: Monet, van Gogh, Cassatt, Cezanne, Renoir, Manet, Gauguin, Pissarro, and Morisot.
Expand description
These serene views of flowers, fruit, and table settings provide a glimpse into the quaint and lovely private spaces of Paris at the turn of the twentieth century. By focusing on domestic details, these paintings evoke the comforts of a well-appointed home during a bygone era. The accessible text reveals how people of the time prepared and presented their meals, how they used and planned their gardens, and how they decorated their rooms.
A guaranteed hit with museum-lovers everywhere, At Home with the Impressionists is an endearing new take on this most popular genre of art.
