Purchase options and add-ons

Celebrations of city streets, tranquil vistas of the countryside and seashore, enchanting images of the leisured classes in domestic interiors or at fashionable Parisian cafés - the work of the Impressionists gives pleasure to art lovers everywhere. But while Impressionism today may appear natural and effortless, contemporaries were shocked by the loose handling of paint and the practice of painting out-of-doors. In defiance of the conservative official Salon, the Impressionists, led by Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Edgar Degas, sought to capture the immediacy of experience.

This fascinating, comprehensive study brings together the most recent research on Impressionism. James Rubin makes accessible its philosophical, political and social context. As well as the acknowledged masters, our attention is drawn to lesser known but important Impressionists such as Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt and Gustave Caillebotte.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"There is nothing like James Rubin's Impressionism... No other existing book covers all its aspects from so many diverse angles, in such a readable fashion... As a potential college course textbook, this one beats the rest."―Carol Armstrong, Department of Art History, Princeton University

"A superbly insightful book that provides an original and much needed synthesis of years of Impressionist scholarship."―Nina Kallmyer, Professor of Art History, University of Delaware

"A masterly sythesis of the new research surrounding the study of Impressionism. For all its conceptual sophistication, Rubin's book also provides numerous examples of precise and beautifully nuanced formal analyses of paintings. Highest recommendation."―Choice

On the Art & Ideas series

"Art & Ideas has broken new ground in making accessible authoritative views on periods, movements and concepts in art. As a series it represents a real advance in publishing."―Sir Nicholas Serota, Director, Tate London

"The format is wonderful and offers what had long been missing in academic studies: usable manuals for specific themes or periods... I am definitely not alone in welcoming Art & Ideas as a precious set of teaching tools."―Joachim Pissarro, Yale University

"Phaidon's series may prove to be the pick of the crop. It boasts expert but undogmatic texts and a wealth of illustrations."―The Sunday Telegraph

From the Publisher

Celebrations of city streets; tranquil vistas of the countryside and seashore; enchanting images of the leisured classes in domestic interiors or at fashionable Parisian cafes - the work of the Impressionists gives pleasure to art lovers everywhere. But while Impressionism today may appear "natural" and effortless, contemporaries were shocked by the loose handling of paint and the practice of painting out-of-doors. In defiance of the conservative official Salon, the Impressionists - led by Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Edgar Degas - sought to capture the immediacy of experience. This comprehensive study brings together the most recent research on Impressionism. James Rubin makes accessible its philosophical, political and social context, from Baudelaire's conception to the painter of modern life, to the influences of photography, the burgeoning art market, and contemporary notions of gender and race. As well as the acknowledged masters, our attention is drawn to lesser-known Impressionists such as Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassat and Gustave Caillebotte. Rubin also examines the work of Paul Cezanne and his relationship to the group. Finally, the book explores the legacy of Impressionism and its enduring appeal.

Great information in a nice small condensed book. Added this to my small book collection and have referred to many items of interest since I received the book. What else is there to say....I've been a big fan of Monet,along with this time period in art.
This should be a part of serious artists and art history buffs. Perfect little book!

This is a thoughtfully written and accessible account of 19th century French Impressionism, its main themes, influences and legacy. I read this for an introductory graduate-level art history lecture.

I don't like being charge 40% more for the exact same book then another person and then getting that invoice in my package. It's like rubbing my nose in it.

Very Concise digestion of Impressionism

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2013

The author really knows how to tie extensive literature with formal yet relaxed explication
of Modernism as it was ushered by Manet and his followers
