During the 1870s and 1880s, a group of French artists, including Pissarro, Monet, and Renoir, adopted a style of painting and subjects that challenged the art of the Academie Francaise where “official” assumptions about the meaning of painting prevailed. This compact, well-priced survey of the movement features sixty reproductions of some of the most renowned works, and a highly readable introductory text.
Flaminio Gualdoni is professor of art history at the Accademia di Brera. He is the director of the magazines FMR and Eikon. He is the former director of the Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro.
