Masterworks of The Impressionists by Douglas Mannering.
Published by Paragon Book Service Limited, 1996.
Hardcover, 256 pages.
From the jacket: "Supreme painters of colour, light and life, the Impressionists enjoy a universal popularity that no other group of artists can match. Nineteenth-century France lives again in their works, which range from boulevard scene, featuring elegant men and women of the world, to fresh, unspoiled land - and seascapes. Yet in their own time the Impressionists were ridiculed and abused, and when they mounted a series of epoch-making exhibitions they created one tremendous scandal after another. The Masterworks of the Impressionists explores and explains this paradox, putting forward the basic evidence in the form of 121 superb paintings...immensely readable, this book tells the story of how a group of gifted individuals came together and changed the history of art for ever."
