ART REVOLUTIONS IMPRESSIONISM by LINDA BOLTON
The lives and techniques of impressionist artists, such as Monet and Renoir are covered in this book on Impressionism, which is perhaps one of the most loved art movements of all time, including some of the best known and most expensive paintings in the world. The book answers questions such as Why paint a landscape in thousands of coloured dots? and Why make a portrait that looks nothing like a person? It is one of a series that takes an in-depth look at the major art movements of the 20th century and gives a listing of where to see the original works of art as well as providing sources of information on the Internet.
