**PLEASE NOTE: THIS BOOK IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH**Experience five foundational Impressionists in a collection of monographs that explores the impact of Degas, Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, and van Gogh with in-depth texts and impeccable reproductions. Learn how, via disparate life stories, these masters of light and color came to revolutionize the way the world was seen and painted.This inspiring collection covers the work, the lives, and the enduring impact of five key Impressionists, in one volume that’s a primer and a celebration of probably the most popular artistic genre of all time. Each featured artist broke boundaries in different ways, astounding late 19th-century society with their boldness of vision and technique. For instance, Paul Gauguin sought inspiration in the exotic, using bold colors and symbolism, often to unsettling effect. Vincent van Gogh’s highly emotive use of color and vigorous brushstrokes conveyed his private turmoil and did much to lay the groundwork for Expressionism.Together, these five creative masters redefined what art dared to achieve, emphasizing personal expression alongside their exploration of light, color, and perspective. Their output marked a pivotal shift to modern artistic freedoms and expectations. This collection looks beyond their most famous works and includes an extensive text on each artist’s oeuvre, alongside a detailed biography and more than 400 high-quality color illustrations.
