The Impressionist Revolution: Monet to Matisse from the Dallas Museum of Art - Hardcover
by Nicole R. Myers (Author)
The revolutionary roots of the artists collective known as the Impressionists--and the course they charted for modern art
The Impressionist Revolution: Monet to Matisse from the Dallas Museum of Art chronicles the evolution of a movement, from its inception in 1874 to its early twentieth-century legacy. The Impressionists--whose pioneering members included Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Berthe Morisot--deviated from artistic norms in subject matter, style, and exhibition practices, reshaping the definition of artistic innovation at the time and beyond. Drawing exclusively from the Dallas Museum of Art's collection, this book illuminates the genesis of the Impressionist collective, its key figures, and what made their work so revolutionary. The narrative extends beyond the group's final exhibition in 1886, exploring how Post-Impressionists both embraced and challenged Impressionist aesthetics, influencing a fresh wave of artists--including Henri Matisse, Piet Mondrian, and Alexei Jawlensky--who ushered in a new avant-garde for the early twentieth century.
