The Grove dictionary of art. From Monet to Cézanne : late 19th-century French artists
"The late 19th century in France represents an extraordinary period of artistic achievement in the history of Western art. The successive artistic revolutions of Realism, Impressionism, and Post-Impressionism are here charted through more than 300 biographies of the most important painters, sculptors, and graphic artists of the time. Extensive surveys examine the life, training, work, personality, and influence of the renowned leaders of each movement, from Millet and Courbet to Monet, Manet, Renoir, and Degas, and Cezanne and Gauguin. With further in-depth articles on lesser-known artists, this dictionary is the most comprehensive and authoritative guide to one of the most popular periods of art."--Jacket
