"Promenades of an Impressionist" by James Huneker is a critical exploration of art and artists, reflecting the intellectual currents of the early 20th century. Written during the late 19th century, the book delves into the lives and works of prominent figures in the art world, notably focusing on the impressionists and their predecessors. The narrative encompasses a diverse range of artists, including Cézanne, Rops, Monticelli, Rodin, and others, portraying their unique contributions and the tumultuous context in which they worked. At the start of the book, Huneker presents an engaging critique of the works exhibited at the Paris Autumn Salon, especially emphasizing the impact of Paul Cézanne on modern art. He describes the chaotic and vibrant atmosphere of the Salon, discussing how the younger generation of artists, largely influenced by Cézanne, challenged traditional norms and forged their own path. The opening portion sets the tone for the exploration of the revolutionary changes in art, showcasing both the admiration and criticism directed towards Cézanne as he becomes a central figure amidst the clashing ideals of the art community.
