This handsome publication, which accompanies a major exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a lively and engaging account of the artistic scene in Paris in the 1860s, the years that witnessed the beginnings of Impressionism. For the first time the interactions and relationships among the group of painters who became known as the Impressionists are examined without the overworn art historical polarities commonly evoked: academic versus avant-garde, classicist versus romantic, realist versus impressionist. A host of strong personalities contributed to this history, and their style evolved into a new way of looking at the world. These artists wanted above all to give an impression of truth and to have an impact on or even to shock the public. And they wanted to measure up to or surpass their elders. This complex and rich environment is presented here - the grand old men and the young turks encounter each other, the Salon pontificates, and the new generation moves fitfully ahead, benignly but always with determination. Origins of Impressionism gives a day-by-day, year-by-year study of the genesis of an epoch-making style. Bibliographies and provenances are provided for each of the almost two hundred works in the exhibition, and there is an illustrated chronology. With more than two hundred superb colorplates, this informative survey is an essential work for both the general reader and the scholar. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The following are excerpts from a review written by me in October 1994:
"A joint effort between the Metropolitan in New York and the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, with loans from museums around the world, the blockbuster exhibit brings together almost two hundred works, many for the first time. The exhibit follows the Impressionists in somewhat chronological order through the decade of the 1860s. There are eleven rooms in the exhibit, each devoted to themes that the Impressionists worked on, such as "History Painting", "Still Life", "the Nude", "Portraiture", "the Realist Landscape", "the Modern Landscape". The exhibit provides a basic introduction to these artists and their early influences and it shows how the Impressionists tried to develop a new style of painting while staying within traditional genres.
"One of the highlights of the exhibition is the reunion of such works as the four paintings of la Grenouillère -- works that haven't been seen together since they were painted ... For the first time, we can see Monet's three views of Paris that he painted from the balcony of the Louvre in 1867. There is also a group of paintings by Renoir, Bazille and Sisely that are together again. The three shared a studio in 1867, and Renoir painted a portrait of Bazille at his easel as he and Sisely were working on still lives of the Heron, which are also in the exhibit." (
