The Best Artists. Impressionism

You have an unusual book in your hands. This book – the second in the "Art for Whizzes" series – will allow a budding art historian to immerse themselves in the amazing, magical, bright, and mysterious world of art. You will be introduced to the phenomenon of Impressionism, whose history spans just 12 years: from the first exhibition in 1874, where the famous "Impression" was presented, to the last, eighth, in 1886. Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas, Claude Monet and Auguste Renoir, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Vincent van Gogh – these artists sought to convey to the viewer the impression, the beauty of everyday reality, and to capture what the eye sees in a specific moment. Ultimately, their work irrevocably influenced all subsequent art.
Your guide in this world will be Paola Dmitrievna Volkova – the most famous art and culture historian, author and host of the television series called "Bridge Over the Abyss". For many years, she lectured on art history at the Russian State University of Cinematography, and students, future famous actors and directors, were crazy about her! You simply can't find a better guide!
