The Impressionists need little introduction. The names of Pissarro, Manet, Degas, Sisley, Cézanne, Monet and Renoir are now familiar throughout the world, and exhibitions of their work continue to attract large audiences. Though scorned by the French art establishment during their lifetime, few artists have achieved such enduring popularity.
This book tells the fascinating and moving story of the Impressionist fellowship, from their first encounters in 1861 and 1862 until their last group exhibition in 1886, when conflicting aims and new influences led to the breakup of the circle.
Michael Wilson is Head of Exhibitions and Displays at the National Gallery, London. He has written several books, including Nature and Imagination: The Work of Odilon Redon (1978) and French Paintings after 1800 (1983).
