      abstract = {This dazzling selection of impressionist and  post-impressionist paintings features lavish reproductions,  lively commentary, and a beautiful slipcase that will  delight art lovers. The National Gallery of Art in  Washington possesses nearly 400 French impressionist and  post-impressionist paintings--one of the finest collections  of its kind in the world. This book celebrates that  collection with 50 of the Gallery's best-known works, which  represent a generous cross section of impressionist and  postimpressionist art at its most breathtaking. Reproduced  with stunning quality, the full- and double-page  illustrations allow readers to savor Van Gogh's vibrant  palette, the lushness of Monet's gardens, the texture of  Cézanne's still lifes, and the delicate beauty of Renoir's  women. Works by Gauguin, Seurat, Bazille, and  Toulouse-Lautrec display the wide range of styles  encompassed by the impressionist and post-impressionist  periods. Each masterpiece is accompanied by a brief and  informative text, while an essay recounts the challenges  and excitement of forming a storied collection. The next  best thing to viewing such marvelous art in person, this  book offers pleasure on every page.},
