<br/><br/> The "point" of Impressionist art was to capture the fleeting moment, the transient effect of a certain place, person, or time. Impressionist artists worked on-site with speed and directness, hoping to distinguish their works with a new freshness, immediacy, and truthfulness. Yet the paintings they exhibited were in fact almost always completed in the studio later. This beautifully illustrated book investigates for the first time the works that might truly be called "Impressions" paintings that appear to be rapid transcriptions of shifting subjects but were nonetheless considered finished by their makers. Focuses attention on the role played by speed of execution in the origins and development of the Impressionist movement.
