Impressionism
Impressionism, the revolutionary movement born in France in the 1860s and '70s, was one of the most important breakthroughs in the history of painting. In this lively survey, the author relates the individual Impressionists--Renoir, Monet and Pissarro among them--to their predecessors and their heirs.

A Near-Complete History Made Clear and Easy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I've owned this book for over 10 years and it is one that I go back to time and time again. Chronologically written and full of side-bar information, it's a valueable reference book for the already-educated and a great primer for the novice. It opened my eyes to many painters that I was not completely aware of and gave a full history to their works and their interrelations as artists of the period. A great read and a valueable resource.
Great book!
