The French Impressionists (1860-1900)
E-text prepared by Juliet Sutherland, Linda Cantoni, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"The French Impressionists (1860-1900)" by Camille Mauclair is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book examines the evolution and impact of the Impressionist movement in France, focusing on the artists who defined this revolutionary style and their techniques that emphasized the interplay of light and color. The narrative is likely to explore the artistic philosophies and contributions of key figures such as Manet, Monet, and Renoir, shedding light on the often-misunderstood nature of their work and its significance in art history. The beginning of the work sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of Impressionism, discussing the artistic milieu that led to its emergence. Mauclair emphasizes the importance of understanding the precursors to Impressionism, such as earlier masters whose influences shaped the movement's techniques. The author also addresses the challenges faced by Impressionist artists in gaining recognition, often being excluded from official salons, and highlights their enduring spirit and dedication to capturing contemporary life and the essence of light. Mauclair’s aim appears to be a celebration of the Impressionists as pioneers, asserting their rightful place within the canon of art history and illustrating how they paved the way for modern artistic expressions.
