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.$$cPublisher. 000452883 61020 $$aNational Gallery of Art (U.S.)$$vCatalogs. 000452883 650_0 $$aPainting, French$$y19th century$$vCatalogs. 000452883 650_0 $$aPainting, French$$y20th century$$vCatalogs. 000452883 650_0 $$aImpressionism (Art)$$zFrance$$vCatalogs. 000452883 650_0 $$aPost-impressionism (Art)$$zFrance$$vCatalogs. 000452883 650_0 $$aPainting$$zWashington (D.C.)$$vCatalogs. 000452883 7001_ $$aJones, Kimberly$$q(Kimberly A.) 000452883 7102_ $$aMuseum of Fine Arts, Houston. 000452883 85200 $$bover$$hND547.5.I4$$iN28$$i2010 000452883 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1114/2010034473-d.html 000452883 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:452883$$pGLOBAL_SET 000452883 980__ $$aBIB 000452883 980__ $$aBOOK
