More than a century after their first exhibition in 1874, the canvases of the Impressionists remain provocative. The proponents of this new style rejected the established principles of art in then France. This book explores the roots of Impressionism and its spread to America and Australia. Ralph Skea highlights how the Impressionists transformed everyday subjects, using bold colors and quick brushstrokes. They created outdoors, capturing the fleeting effects of light and emotions. Despite the initial shock caused by Impressionism, its acceptance gradually increased, and today we can appreciate its profound influence on modern art.
