One of my favorite periods of art is the Impressionism movement which began around 1862.
My love for outdoors is probably why I have so much admiration for the Impressionist artists. Two of my favorites are Pissarro and Monet. These painters were the masters of capturing nature out-of-doors.
During their time, the use of light and color was considered shocking. The purpose of the first Impressionist painters was to portray the immediate visual sensations of a scene. To say these artists were driven by this purpose is an understatement. It was said that Monet was so obsessed with conditions of light that he made the outdoors his studio and worked outside regardless of the weather.
You can find books on the Impressionists and other artists, art exhibition catalogs and magazine back issues at Nella’s Books and Collectibles.
